A Champion's Pedigree and Performance on Display
"Our Moneyman," consigned by Hunter Valley Farm on behalf of Allied Racing, was acquired by Pedro Lanz, acting as an agent for KAS Stables. This Louisiana-bred son of Mr. Money boasts an impressive track record, including a stakes victory at age two and two runner-up finishes in graded stakes races this year. Notably, he secured a career-best 95 Beyer Speed Figure in the Indiana Derby (G3) despite his jockey losing the crop, demonstrating his formidable closing speed. With three consecutive 90-plus Beyers and an undefeated record across nine starts, accumulating $392,067 in earnings, his potential is undeniable.
