Grade 2 winner and freshman sire Saarland registered his first winner on Thursday when Collegiate prevailed in her career debut at Belmont Park.

The two-year-old filly scored by 2 1/4 lengths for owner Team Valor International and trainer Mark Hennig, completing the five-furlong race, the second race on Thursday's card, in :57.53 over a fast track.

Team Valor bought Collegiate for $400,000 from the consignment of Darby Dan, agent for her breeder, Jess Jackson’s Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings, in the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga selected yearling sale.

Saarland stands for a private fee at Darby Dan in Lexington. Collegiate was his fifth starter.

Cynthia Phipps bred and raced the nine-year-old Unbridled horse out of multiple Grade 1 winner Versailles Treaty, by Danzig. Jackson purchased a majority interest at the conclusion of his racing career.

Trained by Shug McGaughey, Saarland won the 2001 Remsen Stakes (G2) and finished second in the ’03 Metropolitan Handicap (G1). He won five of 21 career starts and earned $595,250.
