U S Navy Flag Off The Mark At Dundalk

Coolmore's U S Navy Flag (by War Front) has his first winner after the Kieran Potter-trained colt Ocean Vision (Ire) scored on debut at Dundalk on Tuesday. Sent off at 12-1, the bay broke awkwardly and played catch-up initially behind the leading quartet in the card's opening five-furlong maiden. Staying on to take command passing two out, he beat Lady Tilbury (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}) by 3/4 of a length. “He actually needs six, he was all over the place early on in the race but came home strong.” trainer Kieran Cotter said. “He enjoyed that surface and I'd say he would want quick, decent ground.” The listed-placed dam, who also has a yearling colt by El Kabeir, is a half to the GII Forward Gal S. winner Letgomyecho (Menifee) and to the dam of the GIII Ohio Derby scorer Dean Martini (Cairo Prince). Letgomyecho has produced five stakes performers headed by last year's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, GI Frizette S. and GI Spinaway S.-winning champion 2-year-old filly Echo Zulu (Gun Runner) and the GI H. Allen Jerkens S. scorer Echo Town (Speightstown).
