coco crush wins us debut

Coco Crush (War Front x Lady Alexandra) emerged victorious in her first race over US soil on April 19th.

Still a maiden after two starts in Ireland, this filly’s connections opted to see how she’d fare in America and were quickly rewarded for that decision! Coco Crush rated towards the back of the field before sustaining a three wide charge down the straight. The filly showed a serious turn of foot to reach the wire 3/4 of a length in front under jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr.

A huge congratulations to Owner/Breeder Heider Family Stables! We look forward to seeing where this filly takes us this year.
