Watchyourownbobber catches another Stakes victory, takes the More Than Ready at Kentucky Downs

Four-year-old colt becomes Hard Spun’s second Stakes winner of the afternoon

Watchyourownbobber took command in the stretch and pulled away for a four-and-a-half-length victory in the $400,000 More Than Ready Stakes at Kentucky Downs.

The four-year-old colt became the second Stakes winner of the afternoon for his sire, Hard Spun. Less than thirty minutes earlier, the two-year-old filly, Diadura, remained perfect in two starts when winning the Arlington-Washington Lassie by five-and-a-half-lengths.

Watchyourownbobber was bred in Kentucky by Ashview Farm and Colts Neck Stable. He is out of the Stakes-placed mare, Boodles, and is a half-brother to Market Rally, winner of the G3 UAE Two Thousand Guineas.  

Hard Spun enjoyed a terrific year in 2015, siring G1 winners Hard Not To Like, Hard Aces, and Smooth Roller. Hard Spun has sired 10 Stakes winners so far this year, including the Graded winners Hard Aces, Big John B, Reload, Promising Run, and Khusoosy.
