Wine Police out-dueled Homerun Berti in Sunday’s $75,000 Premier Cup H. at Zia Park to collect his third lifetime black-type victory and give his sire Speightstown his 12th stakes winner of 2014 and simultaneously push the top-10 sire’s progeny earnings past the $6.5 million mark.
Wine Police chased Homerun Berti through most of the 5 ½-furlongs, collaring his foe inside the final furlong and going on to win by 1 ¾-lengths in 1:04.93 over a muddy surface (VIDEO).
Six-year-old Wine Police has hit the board in 12 of his 19 lifetime starts, with previous stakes wins in the Remington Park Sprint Cup S. and the Distorted Humor S. His lifetime earnings now stand at $441,507. The chestnut, bred in Kentucky by John and Martha Mulholland, is owned by Kirk and Judy Robinson.
