Webslinger

Unplaced and well-beaten in his career debut on the main track at Ellis Park, Webslinger took a step forward when switched to grass racing for his second start by Hall of Fame trainer Mark Casse. He rallied from off the pace despite a troubled trip to finish second by a length Aug. 13, 2022, at Saratoga Race Course in a 5 ½-furlong sprint.

Next tested against stakes competition, the bay colt by Constitution finished with a powerful rush to win the Nownownow Stakes at one mile by a half a length on Sept. 17 at Monmouth Park.  He subsequently finished his 2-year-old season with an 11th-place finish in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Keeneland.

Webslinger began his 3-year-old campaign with a 1 1/16-mile turf allowance win at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 11, 2023. He then finished second in the $200,000 Colonel Liam Stakes at Gulfstream Park on March 4, and then was third in the Grade 3 Transylvania Stakes at Keeneland on April 7.

Webslinger got back into the winner's circle on the Kentucky Derby Day undercard at Churchill downs in the Grade 2 $500,000 American Turf Stakes. He ran the 1 1/16 miles on firm turf in a winning time of 1:41.54 and came from mid-pack in a 13-horse field to get up at the wire to win by a nose.

The winning Hard Spun mare Arana is the dam (mother) of Webslinger.
