First Stakes Winner for Bullet Train

Mark Smith - Sunday October 2

A milestone for Bowness Stud shuttler Bullet Train who sired his first black-type winner when Whiskey Train came from last to claim raced the $75,000 Armed Forces Stakes at Gulfstream Park on Saturday.

Making just his second start, the Laura Cazares-trained gelding threaded his way between runners to get the better of Sonic Mule in the closing stages.

The Kentucky-bred gelding was sold for $9,000 to McMachon & Hill Bloodstock at the 2015 Keeneland September yearling sale.

A half-brother to three winners Whiskey Train is out of Enjoy, a Grade 1-placed daughter of Roar.

Enjoy has a yearling full brother to Whiskey Train named Trump Train.

Bullet Train, who is a Sadler's Wells three-quarter brother to champion Frankel (Galileo), is covering his fourth book of mares at Bowness Stud for $11,000.

His first Australian crop race this season.
