Fast Serve first winner for Texas sire Wimbledon

Posted: Sunday, May 24, 2009 9:20 PM

First-time starter Fast Serve battled gamely in the stretch and prevailed by a half-length under Eddie Martin Jr. in the eighth race on Sunday at Lone Star Park to become the first winner for Texas-based freshman sire Wimbledon.

Trained by Bret Calhoun for owner-breeder Clarence Scharbauer Jr., Fast Serve covered the five-furlong maiden special weight race in :58.74 as the 2-to-1 favorite in the nine-horse field. The chestnut colt is out of stakes-placed winner Rockin Regent, by Gold Regent.

An eight-year-old by Wild Rush out of the winning Darn That Alarm mare Strawberry Clover, Wimbledon stands for $3,000 at Valor Farm in Pilot Point, Texas. He has 40 two-year-olds in his first crop.

Wimbledon posted two wins, three second-, and two third-place finishes in 11 career starts and earned $443,818. He posted a 2¼-length triumph over Borrego and Pollard’s Vision in the 2004 Louisiana Derby (G2) for owner James McIngvale and trainer Bob Baffert.
