Kowboy King rolls by 17 in maiden special

Kowboy King crushed his opposition with a 16 3/4-length maiden special weight tour de force Wednesday at Laurel Park (VIDEO). Kodiak Kowboy now has nine winners to his credit, fourth among 2013 Freshman sires, and his progeny earnings of $360,000 also ranks fourth on the Kentucky Freshman Sire list.

Bred in Kentucky by Gerry and Mimi Brodsky, Kowboy King, went through the ring at the 2012 Keeneland Yearling Sale, where he brought a winning bid of $100,000 from his owner Harry and Tom Meyerhoff. Kowboy King is a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Regally Ready.
