+KLINGON WARRIOR (c, 2, First Dude–American Asset, by Mineshaft), the highest priced 2-year-old to sell of 22 offered by his sire at OBSAPR for $130,000 after breezing a furlong in 10 flat, was let go at 8-1 for this debut. The lanky chestnut led the charge from the stalls and soon found himself in a three-way battle for leadership duties down the backstretch, but maintained a narrow advantage through a first quarter in :22.93. He swung four-wide into the lane and was tackled in earnest by the more experienced Ayyoh (Hard Spun) to his inside, but kept finding to deny that foe and skip clear with ears pricked to win by 5 1/2 lengths good-looking lengths. Klingon Warrior is the second winner for his freshman sire (by Stephen Got Even). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $25,200. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
