3YO colt by Distorted Humor broke his maiden very impressively at Fair Grounds this afternoon (Race 9). He was bet down to 3-1 off of some very strong works and ran a huge race after breaking slowly and advancing on the far turn. A La bred N1X for older horses went a second and a fifth slower 30 minutes before off of a nearly identical half-mile.

His dam, Ready's Gal, broke her maiden at first asking at Saratoga in 2004 and won 7 of 17 lifetime including the Lake George, Matchmaker and Hillsborough.

Not many Neil Howard first timers are bet and run like that.

Would have thought the turf. Didn't Ready's Gal beat Wait it Out in the Lake George. There were some decent turf fillies that year.

Neil Howard will visit ATR tomorrow to talk about him... Also eager to ask about AIN'T NO TELLIN', a Sam-Son Dynaformer homebred filly he debuts Thursday who is a half sister of memorable MGSW French Beret.

WOW.
any horse that breaks their maiden before the age of 5 for N. Howard is a serious colt.

Distorted Humor is probably the best debut sire going.
