Soloshot seeks more stakes success in $500K NYSSS Fifth Avenue

Bregman Family Racing, Jackpot Farm and Swinbank Stables’ Soloshot headlines a robust field of 12 in Saturday’s $500,000 Fifth Avenue division of the New York Stallion Stakes Series, at Aqueduct Racetrack.
The Fifth Avenue, slated as Race 8 for eligible New York-sired juvenile fillies, co-headlines a lucrative Saturday program also offering the $500,000 NYSSS Great White Way for eligible state-sired juveniles in Race 9. Both races are contested at seven furlongs on the main track. First post on the 10-race card is 11:50 a.m. Eastern.
Trained by George Weaver, Soloshot, one of five Solomini progeny entered here, won her first two career outings in gate-to-wire fashion traveling 5 1/2-furlongs on the main track against fellow New York-breds. The speedy chestnut graduated by 7 3/4-lengths on debut in August at Saratoga Race Course ahead of a two-length score in the Lady Finger on September 25 at Finger Lakes.
The $290,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale purchase, bred in the Empire State by Rhapsody Farm, is out of the multiple stakes-placed Twirling Candy mare Sweet Queen, who is a half-sister to graded stakes-winner Queen Ofthe Catsle.
