Belmont Derby Launches Inaugural Turf Trinity

Belmont Derby Launches Inaugural Turf Trinity

SATURDAY, JULY 6, 2019 BELMONT DERBY THREE OF WINSTAR=S FIRST-YEARLING SIRES: OUTWORK, SPEIGHTSTER, & TOURIST LAUNCHES INAUGURAL WinStar Farm has been a major player in the stallion ranks for many years now. Included among the leading sires the Kentucky TURF TRINITY farm stands or has stood are Distorted Humor, More Than Ready, Pioneerof the Nile, and Tiznow. The WinStar stallion division has four first-season yearling sires currently in the barn, all graded stakes winners whose first weanlings were well- received in the commercial market in 2018. Three of the young sires stand for $15,000 or less: Outwork (Uncle Mo), Speightster (Speightstown), and Tourist (Tiznow). Outwork started making headlines early as Uncle Mo=s very first winner as a sire. Uncle Mo, of course, would go on to be the leading freshman sire in 2015 with Grade I-winning juveniles Nyquist and Gomo, as well as a plethora of other early successes. Outwork would become Uncle Mo=s third Grade I winner from that first crop when he took the Wood Memorial a few weeks before Nyquist added the GI Kentucky Derby.
