DISTANT WINTER (SAF) kicked off what has been a very productive afternoon for Herringswell with her win the George Rosenberger Memorial, a  1 1/16th mile starter allowance on the turf at Delaware Park.

This was her third U.S. start and her second win at Delaware Park. She won her North American debut there on June 19, followed by a runner-up finish at Colonial Downs on August 22.

With Kevin Gomez in the saddle, Distant Winter “stalked the pace while comfortably rated down the backside, rallied on the turn narrowing the gap, engaged the pacesetter in upper stretch when called upon and quickly went clear in convincing fashion.” She crossed the line 3 1/2 lengths ahead of her six rivals today.

Drakenstein Stud bred the 5-year-old mare by What A Winter (SAF) out of Fromafar (SAF), by Trippi. Owners Cayton Park Stud celebrates another win today. Cheers to all!
