Sapphire Prince first winner for Read the Footnotes

Posted: Thursday, June 26, 2008 7:51 PM

Sapphire Prince earned a 1¼-length win in the first race at Great Leighs on Thursday and became the first winner for New York-based freshman sire Read the Footnotes.

Florida-bred Sapphire Prince, who is out of the winning Houston mare Anna Jackson, covered six furlongs in 1:15 on the synthetic Polytrack surface for owners Ian Beach and John Fletcher and trainer John Best.
 
Read the Footnotes is a seven-year-old by Smoke Glacken out of the Al Nasr (Fr) mare Baydon Belle. He stands at Sequel Stallions New York for $8,500. Read the Footnotes has 53 two-year-olds in his first crop.

Read the Footnotes won five of eight career starts and earned $450,660. Winner of the 2004 Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2), he was among the early favorites for the Kentucky Derby (G1) after his fourth-place finish in the Florida Derby (G1)  but finished seventh in the classic. He also won the ’03 Remsen (G2) and Nashua (G3) Stakes, both at Aqueduct, as a two-year-old.
