THIRD WINNER FOR DURING!
GREAT PATRIOT became the THIRD WINNER from the First Crop of our Freshman Sire DURING with his debut victory in the 6th race at Monmouth Park, a five and one-half furlong maiden special weight over the fast main track.

Breaking from post one, GREAT PATRIOT was away sharply and held his position along the rail just off the leader's flank. Moving to take the lead around the turn, he was challenged and headed at the top of the stretch, but he wasn't finished. Showing the tenacity of his sire, he found more, retook the lead and gamely prevailed by a half-length.

GREAT PATRIOT races for Patriot Stables and he is trained by Timothy Hills. Bred in Florida by Alfonso Figliolia he is out of the Regal Classic mare, November Moon.

FIRST WINNER FOR DURING!
DURING DEPUTY became the First Winner for her Freshman Sire DURING with her impressive victory in the 3rd race at Philadelphia Park, a four and one-half furlong maiden special weight over the muddy main track.

Three fillies wanted the lead and DURING DEPUTY was on the outside of the trio. Going into the far turn, they all wanted to be on the exact same spot on the racetrack with DURING DEPUTY getting the worst of it. She dropped back two lengths after the crowding, but she regained her momentum and shot past the leading pair coming off the turn. She drew away strongly through the stretch and was more than six lengths best at the finish.

DURING DEPUTY races for Elliot Mavorah and she is trained by Frank Petrozzo. Bred in Nicholas M. Lotz and Diane L. Hume, she is out of the stakes winning and stakes producing Silver Deputy mare, Merry Deputy.
