Curlin Colt Answers a Slow Break With a Winning Kick at Churchill Downs

Endrush left the gate behind the pace in his first start at Churchill Downs, then closed hard to cross the wire in front, taking his career debut. The colt is by Curlin, the two-time champion sire and Preakness winner, out of Ender's Sister, a mare with her own thoroughbred pedigree through A.P. Indy. He races for Green Lantern Stables. Thoroughbred Daily News has since named him to its Rising Stardom list, a recognition reserved for young horses whose first trips to the track suggest more to come. For a colt with that kind of pedigree behind him, a debut win at one of the sport's most storied ovals is the sort of start owners and breeders take note of.
