Disco Ebo News Today

Once Weigelia finally usurped Jump Start's position at the top of Pennsylvania's stallion pecking order, he hasn't looked back.

Allard said he could find no excuses for the ultra-consistent chestnut after the Bed o’ Roses effort and expects a better outing Saturday.

Disco Ebo set the early pace among Pennsylvania incentive award earners for the 2023 season, and Weigelia filly has maintained that advantage through the early summer months, bringing in $193,952 to her various connections for her Keystone State roots.

After leading all Pennsylvania sires by stallion awards earned for the first time in 2022, Wyn Oaks Farm's Weigelia is once again setting the pace through the first quarter of 2023, leading longtime rival Jump Start by a margin of $61,206 to $44,250.

It doesn't take long for a good Pennsylvania-bred to make serious money for his connections within the state's program, and Disco Ebo displayed this notion to perfection through the first two months of 2023.

The effort was awarded a career-best 86 Beyer Speed Figure, a number that Reid, Jr. said gives him confidence in stretching Ninetyprcentmaddie out even further.
