After finishing third in each of his two previous races, Green Spring Boy closed from off the pace under Jesus Sanchez and drew clear to a 1 1/4-length win in the third race on Saturday night at Charles Town Races to become the first winner for West Virginia-based freshman sire Race On Green.

Trained by Jeffrey Allen for owner-breeder David E. Winpigler Sr., Green Spring Boy completed the 4 1/2-furlong maiden special weight race in :54.01 on a track rated as fast. The West Virginia-bred bay gelding is out of the winning Pulverizing mare Pulverize Spring.

An 11-year-old by A.P. Indy out of multiple graded stakes winner Grab the Green, by Cozzene, Race On Green stood the 2009 season for $750 at O’Sullivan Farms in Charles Town, West Virginia. He has 18 two-year-olds in his first crop.

Race On Green amassed three wins, six seconds, and three thirds from 27 career starts and earned $111,640 in five racing seasons.
