Biondetti and Overdriven: Frosh Battle Is On
Tuesday, November 1, 2016

    The Florida freshman sire race has heated up this week, with Woodford Thoroughbreds' Biondetti catching up with Ocala Stud's Overdriven via a pair of sharp first-time turf winners at Santa Anita and Churchill Downs. Both stallions now have six winners.

    At Santa Anita, Conscripted came from dead last in a $52,000 maiden special at a flat mile on the grass, made a strong run through the stretch, and was up by a nose at the wire, clocked in 1:35.27. The colt bred by Three Lyons Racing and Jeff Heslep went off at 21-1 in his career debut and collected $31,200 for the score. 

    Clever Girl was equally as impressive in Kentucky, coming from seventh on the backstretch, splitting horses in the stretch, and drawing off to win by three lengths. The filly bred by Woodford was clocked in 1:43.90 for the 1 1/16 miles at odds of 8-1 and earned a check for $32,700 in the $58,000 maiden special. Clever Girl was a $150,000 Keeneland November weanling in 2014.
