Halon Burns Up Churchill Maidens

June 20, 2012

Lighthouse Group's homebred Halon (Purge-Ablaze, by Forest Camp) broke his maiden by 5 1/4 lengths in his second start at three, a 6 1/2 f. MSW test on the Churchill Downs dirt on June 20. Breaking sharply from the outside post, Halon tracked the early pace under Calvin Borel and assumed command as he turned for home, drawing off to win over favorite Vasten (Speightstown).  Trained by Ian Wilkes, Halon was co-bred by Lantern Hill and was offered in our 2010 Keeneland September Yearling Sales consignment, where he was bought back for $6,000, lifetime: 4-1-0-0, $38,812.
