Speightster first-timer becomes sires 10th winner

Cardiologist was very keen in his first lifetime start on Dec. 3, drawing off by as much as eight lengths before being eased up late while winning a six-furlong maiden special weight by 3 1/2-lengths.

The bay 2-year-old colt is Speightster’s 10th winner from his first crop of runners and the first of three in the first week of December. 

Cardiologist was in an early duel in the first quarter-mile before easily pulling away from the field and was hand-ridden to the wire to take the six-furlong contest without being threatened.

Cardiologist is owned by EDJR Stable and bred in Kentucky by Pinetree Mares 2. He is out of Happy Flight, who is a half-sister to multiple champion Thethiefatmidnight and Grade 2 winner Brushed by a Star.
