Newgate

Newgate made a nice first impression when winning his career debut by 3 ½ lengths July 30, 2022, at Del Mar. Subsequently unplaced in both the Grade 1 Runhappy Del Mar Futurity and Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity, the bay colt by Into Mischief showed improvement against stakes competition when second to Havnameltdown in the Grade 3 Bob Hope Stakes Nov. 20 in his final race as a juvenile.

Newgate opened his 3-year-old season in the Grade 3 Sham Stakes Jan. 8 at Santa Anita Park and took the lead in early stretch before fading to finish second to pacesetting stablemate Reincarnate.

Following consecutive seconds in the Bob Hope and the Sham, Newgate took center stage to earn his first stakes victory in his next outing in the $200,000 Grade 3 Robert Lewis Stakes on Feb. 4 at Santa Anita. Sent off as the even-money favorite in a field of four Bob Baffert-trained entrants, Newgate ran the 1 1/16 distance in a time of 1:43.11 to win by a neck. He paid $4.00 to win.

Grade 3-placed winner Majestic Presence, by Majestic Warrior, is the dam (mother) of Newgate.
