Cohenscollegefund breaks her maiden at Evangeline Downs
Grade 1 winner Itsmyluckyday was represented by his first winner June 30 when Cohenscollegefund sped to a 4 3/4-length win in a 4 1/2-furlong maiden special weight race at Evangeline Downs.
The 2-year-old chestnut filly, who was making her debut for owner Brooke Guidry, led after just a few jumps and never looked back, increasing her margin the entire way before stopping the timer in :53.81 on a fast main track.
Bred in Louisiana by 4M Ranch, Cohenscollegefund is out of the Artax mare No More Tax and is a half sister to two-time stakes winner Mr. Baker. She was a $27,000 purchase by Guidry from Twin Oaks Training Center's consignment to the Equine Sales of Louisiana 2018 2-Year-Old and Horses of Racing Age Sale.
Itsmyluckyday was a top-class performer across three seasons of racing and earned more than $1.7 million. A two-time listed winner at 2, he went on to capture the 2013 Holy Bull Stakes (G3) and finished second in both the Besilu Stables Florida Derby (G1) and the Preakness Stakes (G1). He was at his best at 4, winning four stakes, including the Woodward Stakes (G1) and Salvator Mile Stakes (G3), before he entered stud at Spendthrift Farm in 2015. His 2018 fee is advertised as $5,000 live foal.
