Boyd Gaming’s Delta Jackpot S. (Grade 3)
1 1/16 miles – Delta Downs, purse $1,000,000.
Coming off an effortless 4 1/2 length romp in a $100,000 stake in only his second start, Golden Yank was every bit as impressive in decimating a quality field by 5 easy lengths in the $150,000 Jean Lafitte Stakes in his last start. Made one of the favorites for the rich GIII $1,000,000 Delta Jackpot, Golden Yank found himself in tight between horses in the stretch before falling just a neck short of the winner at the wire. While a foul claim was disallowed by the Stewards, Golden Yank’s effort was unquestionably impressive and he continues to give every indication that he will be among the top 3yos of next year’s crop.
With 13 winners from his first crop of 2yos, including the multiple stakes winning Golden Yank, Yankee Gentleman continues his ascent up the freshman sire ranks.
Congratulations to all his connections!
