Lantern Hill bred and sold SABINO (left) won gate to wire by 13 1/2 lengths in his second lifetime start at Churchill Downs on May 18, becoming freshman sire Stroll’s first winner. Sent off as the heavy favorite, the Dale Romans pupil vied for the lead along the inside and drew off under a hand ride from Robby Albarado, completing the five furlong test in splits of :23.1, :47.1, :59.2. Produced by the Woodman mare Say You’ll Stay and selected by Dale Romans and F.G. Smith from Lantern Hill Farm’s 2007 Keeneland September Sales consignment for Blue Devil Racing Stable LLC, the colt was a bargain purchase at just $4,200.
