First Winner for Freshman Sire After Market

Bette's Aftershock became the first winner for freshman sire and multiple Grade 1 hero AFTER MARKET (Storm Cat) when driving to victory in Thursday night's 4TH race at Lone Star Park. Dispatched at 5-1 in his career debut, the Francisco Bravo trainee alternated for the early lead, began to assert in the stretch, and pulled away to score by two lengths. Bryan McNeil guided the Florida-bred juvenile through five furlongs on the fast track in :59 1/5.

After Market, a homebred campaigned by Pam and Martin Wygod, was produced by their multiple Grade 1-winning millionaire Tranquility Lake (Rahy), and took after her by thriving on the turf. He captured his first four career starts for trainer Bill Mott, including the 2006 National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame S. (G2) at Saratoga and the now-defunct Lexington S. (G3) at Belmont Park.
