My Reflection first winner for freshman sire Roaring Fever
My Reflection opened a comfortable lead in early stretch and remained clear to the wire in the seventh race on Thursday at Calder Race Course to become the first winner for freshman sire Roaring Fever.
My Reflection, who is one of two winners from as many starters out of the winning Aloha Prospector mare Frans Reflection, won her debut by 2 1/4 lengths with Eduardo Nunez aboard for owner-breeder-trainer Lynne Scace. The dark bay or brown filly covered five furlongs in 1:00.71 on a track rated as fast.
Roaring Fever, an eight-year-old by Storm Cat out of the Grade 3-placed winning Seattle Slew mare Pennant Fever, stood the 2008 season for $5,000 at Metropolitan Stud in Pine Plains, New York. He has 46 two-year-olds in his first crop. He is a full brother to multiple Grade 1 winner Raging Fever and Grade 3 winner and sire Stormin Fever.
Roaring Fever scored four wins in 19 starts and earned $219,655. He won the 2004 Alysheba Stakes at the Meadowlands and finished second in the Cowdin Stakes (G3) in 2002 at Belmont Park. Roaring Fever also finished third in the 2004 William Donald Schaefer Handicap (G3) and Salvator Mile Handicap (G3).
