Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer’s first time 2-year-old starter Washington Bridge made her first call to the post an historic one when breaking the Golden Gate track record in her racing debut. In control from the start, the Yankee Gentleman filly lengthened her lead with every stride in winning by an effortless 5 lengths. She is now being pointed to the major west coast 2-year-old stakes and she gives Yankee Gentleman his 2nd exceptionally impressive juvenile winner of the last week, following on the heels of Tidal Pool’s eye-opening maiden win at Churchill Downs for trainer D. Wayne Lukas.
Yankee Gentleman’s 2009 2-year-old crop is his biggest to hit the ractrack so far, and, as you can see, he’s already getting big time results!
