RACE RECORD:In
a career
In the Westchester Handicap-G3 at Aqueduct, Najran
defeated Saarland,
Justification, Gander, Regal Sanction, Bowman’s Band and Saint Appeal by an
easy 4 1/2 lengths in a World Record Equaling mile on the dirt run in
1:32.24 joining the immortal Dr. Fager who set the record more than a
quarter century before. Najran closed out his career with a dazzling
performance in the Phoenix Breeders' Cup Stakes-G3. Another
outstanding effort by Najran was his second place finish to Sprint Champion
Aldebaran at Saratoga in the Forego Handicap-G1 in which he defeated
.
Najran won at
6, 7, 8 and 9 furlongs showing his versatility and won 7 of his 15 starts
with 2 seconds and 1 third, recording total earnings of $483,448. Many
breeders think that milers make the best sires. You really have to
pick them up and put them down to run a time as fast as Dr. Fager's World
Record. You just cannot find a on the dirt that could run like Najran. |
