La Lynn scored a 10 1/4-victory on Saturday in a 5 1/2-furlong maiden claiming race at Hipodromo Camarero in Puerto Rico and became the first winner for freshman sire Tenpins.
.
La Lynn is out of the winning Itajara mare Prima Gioia (Brz), who is a full sister to Grade/Group1 winner and sire Siphon (Brz). A half sister to Vickey Jane, the dam of Grade 2-placed stakes winner Yankee Bravo, La Lynn won the race in 1:06.84 on a sloppy track for owner Estabalo Toa Alta and trainer Jose Caro. She was bred in Kentucky by Keith and Deborah Wenger.

Tenpins, a ten-year-old by Smart Strike out of the winning Deputy Minister mare Maid’s Broom, stood the 2008 season for $6,500 at Walmac Farm in Lexington. The half brother to three stakes winners has 73 two-year-olds in his first crop.

Campaigned by breeder Joseph Vitello, Tenpins recorded nine wins, including five graded stakes victories, in 17 career starts and banked $1,133,449 in earnings. Tenpins's most lucrative win came in the 2002 edition of the $400,000 Washington Park Handicap (G2) at Arlington Park. He also scored that same season in the Fayette Stakes (G3) at Keeneland Race Course and the William Donald Schaefer Handicap (G3) at Pimlico Race Course and the 2003 editions of the Prairie Meadows Cornhusker Breeders’ Cup Handicap (G3) and Philip H. Iselin Breeders’ Cup Handicap (G3) at Monmouth Park.
