Now a winner in three of his four starts, Geaux Rocket Ride was bred in Kentucky by Larry Best’s OXO Equine LLC and is the second foal from his dam, Beyond Grace (Uncle Mo). The dam was bred in Kentucky by Machmer Hall, which sold the filly as a foal at the 2015 Keeneland November sale for $50,000 to Nitiosagan Farm.
Forced to miss the Santa Anita Derby (G1) due to illness, Pin Oak Stud's Geaux Rocket Ride came back running in Sunday’s $100,000 Affirmed Stakes at Santa Anita as he stalked a face pace and accelerated to a 1¾-length win, getting 1 1/16 miles under Ramon Vazquez in 1:43.75.
Geaux Rocket Ride, a smashing 5 ¾-length winner going six furlongs in his Jan. 29 bow at Santa Anita, remains on track for the San Felipe (G2) on March 4 following a sharp work on Thursday.
