Lord Shanakill first winner for champion Speightstown

Posted: Thursday, May 15, 2008 5:43 PM

Mark Gittins’s Lord Shanakill powered to a convincing 2 3/4-length triumph in a maiden race on Thursday at York to become the first winner for champion and freshman sire Speightstown.

The Kentucky-bred dark bay or brown colt, who is out of the unraced Theatrical (Ire) mare Green Fern, a half sister to Grade 1 winner Spanish Fern, covered six furlongs in 1:12.05 on turf rated as good. He is trained by Karl Burke.

Speightstown is a ten-year-old by Gone West out of 1995 Canadian champion juvenile filly Silken Cat, by Storm Cat. He stands at WinStar Farm in Versailles, Kentucky, for $40,000. Speightstown has 100 two-year-olds in his first crop.

Speightstown won ten of 16 lifetime starts and earned $1,258,256. He capped off his career with a 1 1/4-length win in the 2004 Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) en route to the Eclipse Award as champion sprinter after also scoring earlier in the Churchill Downs (G2), True North Breeders' Cup (G2), and Alfred G. Vanderbilt (G2) Handicaps.
