Copper Line first winner for freshman sire Stored
Copper Line pressed the pace in his career debut on Friday at Charles Town Races and surged clear to a three-length score to become the first winner for West Virginia-based freshman sire Stored.
Trained by Gary Capuano for owner Black Horse Tavern, Copper Line completed 4 1/2 furlongs in :53.27 on a track rated as fast. He is out of the winning Explosive Bid mare Explosive Charm.
Stored, a seven-year-old by Coronado’s Quest out of 1990 champion sprinter Safely Kept, by Horatius, stood the 2008 season for $3,500 at Naylee Farm in Summit Point, West Virginia. A half brother to Grade 3-placed multiple stakes winner Contrast, Stored has 11 two-year-olds in his first crop.
Stored won two of five starts in two seasons and earned $45,210 for breeder Jayeff B Stables and trainer Alan Goldberg.
