2YO winner at Pompano

Spoutin Off became the first sub 2:00 two-year-old of the 2006 season Friday morning at Pompano Park as the pacing filly sired by Intrepid Seelster, from the Abercrombie mare Water Spigot, won a qualifying race in 1:58.

Trained and owned by Melvyn Aylor of Bell, Spoutin Off was one of two 2 year olds against three 3 year olds to go behind the gate in the foruth race. Aylor sent his bay filly right to the front as she led the field to the opening quarter mile in :29.1.

Then driver Wally Hennessey came first-over and took command with Todd’s Up. They led the field to the half mile in :59 and the three-quarters in 1:28.1 with Spoutin Off right on their back.

As they started down the stretch, Aylor edged out with Spoutin Off and the filly went right after Todd’s Up and just got up at the wire to win by a nose.

Spoutin Off is the fifth foal from the 100 percent producing mare Water Spigot, and is a full or half sister to Intrepid Water, p3,1:51.2, Watering Can, p5,1:52.1 and Waterproof, p4,1:53. She was bred by the Robert McIntosh Stables and CSX Stables.

The other 2 year old in the race, Jordon Wins, was fifth and race timed in 2:01.4.
