Pennsylvania Leaderboard Presented By Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association: Ninetypercentbrynn Didn’t Need Stakes Starts To Earn Awards

On the board in each of her first seven starts this year, 3-year-old filly Ninetypercentbrynn is putting together an impressive resume among her fellow Pennsylvania-breds.

The 3-year-old daughter of Weigelia collected a total of $69,700 for her connections via her state-bred and state-sired status through the end of June, in addition to the $117,700 she earned on the racetrack, all without ever starting in a stakes race in that span of time.

Racing for owner-breeder LC Racing, Ninetypercentbrynn's 2021 campaign has improved with every passing month. The Robert Reid, Jr. trainee broke her maiden in her sixth start of the year, seventh overall, and immediately wheeled back to win a first-level allowance race by six lengths.

Ninetypercentbrynn's incentive earning potential was multi-pronged, as a horse both bred in the state and sired by one of its residents.

She earned $39,950 in breeder's awards, which in her case paid out 50 percent of purse earnings for her initial six top-three finishes, then 40 percent for her allowance victory. Ninetypercentbrynn also earned $21,760 in owner's bonuses, a 40 percent bonus based on her races occurring at Parx in Bensalem, Penn.

The $7,990 Ninetypercentbrynn earned in stallion awards contributed to Weigelia's total of $50,896 on the year, good for second overall in the standings. The stallion's primary earner, Beren, earned $15,349 of Weigelia's total through the end of June.

Pennsylvania Leaderboard Presented By Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association: Beren Back On Top By Incentive Earnings

Beren started the year as the leader by Pennsylvania incentive earnings, and the colt regained that position at the end of June after coming home to conquer stakes competition.

The 3-year-old Weigelia colt has compiled $163,256 in incentive money for his connections through a combination of Pennsylvania-bred stakes purses, breeder's awards, stallion awards, and owner bonuses.

He jumped out to an early lead in the standings through the first two months of 2021 with a trio of starts at Parx Racing, including a maiden win and an allowance optional claiming score, before leaving the state for New York for a spring campaign. He performed well out-of-state, taking a pair of stakes races at Belmont Park, but his absence allowed fellow Pennsylvania-born star Wait For It to usurp the lead by incentive earnings.

Beren returned to Pennsylvania in June for the Crowd Pleaser Stakes at Parx on June 22, where he drew away effortlessly under jockey Frankie Pennington to win the 1 1/16-mile race by 9 1/2 lengths.

Most recently, Beren came back to the Keystone State once again to dominate the Parx Summer Sprint Stakes by a front-running 6 1/2 lengths.

Robert Reid Jr. trains Beren for Christopher Feifarek and the St. Omer's Farm of Susan Quick.

Beren's $65,876 in breeder's awards through the end of June was comfortably the most earned by a Pennsylvania-bred. Breeders Quick and Feifarek earned a 50 percent bonus on the purse for Beren's maiden special weight score on Feb. 10 at Parx, and a 40 percent bonus for his other in-state wins.

The $15,349 Beren earned in stallion awards for Weigelia's owner Wyn Oaks Farm was also the most of any Pennsylvania horse at the cutoff point. Stallions earn a 10 percent purse share of all top-three finishes in the state, giving Beren four races where he generated stallion awards through the end of June.

Weigelia a 21-year-old son of Safely's Mark, sat in second by Pennsylvania stallion awards through the end of June, with $50,896. He trails only the late Pennsylvania stalwart Jump Start, who had $73,763 in awards at the same point in the year.

Wait For It, a son of Uptowncharlybrown, held on to second in the incentive earnings standings by a slim margin over Trolley Ride, a Flashy Bull mare whose most notable effort this season was a victory in the Lyphard Stakes at Penn National on May 28.

Beren Shows Affinity For Sloppy Going In Paradise Creek

Even-money favorite Beren broke sharp from the innermost post and never wavered, posting a gate-to-wire 10 3/4-length win against a pared-down four-horse field in Sunday's $100,000 Paradise Creek for 3-year-olds moved off the turf at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y.

The seventh running of the Paradise Creek, originally slated for seven furlongs on the Widener turf course, was moved to the same distance on the sloppy and sealed main track as heavy rain continued throughout the day.

Beren, owned and bred by Susan Quick and Christopher Feifarek, was slated to make his turf debut after posting three wins and two runner-up efforts in eight starts on the main track entering Sunday. The weather postponed those plans for a surface change, but the Weigelia colt thrived in the conditions, leading through the opening quarter-mile in 22.80 seconds and the half in 45.64.

Under jockey Eric Cancel, the Pennsylvania-bred Beren opened up when turning for home, cruising to a double-digit length victory in a final time of 1:23.12. Three Two Zone, who tracked Beren in second position on the backstretch, held off New York-bred Thin White Duke by a nose for second. Fauci completed the order of finish.

Trainer Butch Reid, Jr. said he was looking forward to trying Beren on turf after a win by a nose last out in the Gold Fever over Belmont's Big Sandy on May 9. Instead, Beren improved to 3-for-4 to start his sophomore campaign, with his only non-win coming when fourth in the Grade 3 Bay Shore in April at Aqueduct Racetrack.

“I didn't want a soft turf, so I was really glad this morning when they took it off,” Reid said. “Everybody by Weigelia loves the slop. I've had a bunch of them and every single one of them runs in the slop. It's one thing they do have in common besides being very solid horses.

“He stumbled bad in the Bay Shore and last time he hesitated a little bit and Manny [Franco] did a great job to get him to the outside,” Reid continued. “Eric said this time he was standing and focused. I said to him, 'If he's ready to go, let him go and see what happens.'”

Beren returned $4 on a $2 win bet and improved his career earnings to $215,420.

“He [Reid] told me to ride him comfortably and that he had some speed, but if the other horse that showed speed wanted to go crazy, just sit off him,” Cancel said. “My horse broke very sharply, so I took all the advantage. He ran one time on the muddy track and won. He loved it. Coming into the race, I had a lot of confidence in him and everything worked out well.”

Alonzo Racing's Three Two Zone, also looking to make his turf debut in his sixth career start, instead earned a placing in a stakes for the first time in his career, atoning for a 10th-place effort last out for trainer Marya Montoya in the Grade 2 Pat Day Mile on May 1 at Churchill Downs.

“Today wasn't the best track for him,” said Three Two Zone jockey Kendrick Carmouche. “Coming off the Pat Day Mile, he probably got a little tired today. If you can get him on a better surface, I think he's going to run a lot better.”

Outadore, Chasing Artie and Second of July scratched.

Live racing continues Monday with a special Memorial Day card that will have state-breds take center stage with six stakes worth a combined $900,000 on at Belmont. First post for the 10-race card is 1 p.m. Eastern.

Starting on May 1, Belmont Park re-opened to a limited number of spectators. All admission must be purchased in advance at nyra.com/belmont/tickets/.
