Bootsy's Hadenough couldn't have been more impressive in her 9 3/4-length maiden special weight win Nov. 25 at Churchill Downs, winning the six-furlong contest in 1:10.86 under a hand ride by Corey Lanerie.
The bay filly is the ninth overall winner for Paynter, who has three stakes horses, including black type winner Renaisance Frolic, among his first-crop winners. Paynter's largest two crops from his first four years will be yearlings and 2-year-olds in 2018.
Making her third lifetime start, Bootsy's Hadenough was in control from the outside on Saturday. Up a length after the first quarter-mile, she began to pull away from the field without urging and won with complete authority (

The winner is owned by Lynn Cash et al and was bred by Glendalough LLC. Bootsy's Hadenough is out of Ryan's Inheritance and is a half-sister to American Pastime, a TDN Rising Star and graded stakes-placed winner of $255,100.
