Head First Sire, Head First Filly: Olympiad Banks His Debut Black Type at Kentucky Downs

Citrus Springs put her head in front right where it counted Monday, taking the Kentucky Downs Juvenile Fillies Turf by the narrowest of margins. The win carries weight beyond the finish line: it is the first stakes victory for her sire, Olympiad, in his first year standing at stud. Olympiad is a son of Speightstown, so the result also marks the pedigree's newest line moving from produce catalog to results board. For a stallion just starting his broodmare book, a photo-finish stakes winner from his first crop is the kind of result that gets circulated on the farm.
