The Maclean's Music colt landed his second stakes score and first graded win.
Reeves Thoroughbred Racing's Classic Rock, returning to stakes company in his seasonal debut off a career-best effort, split horses at the top of the stretch and pulled away to a three-length victory in the $100,000 Gulfstream Park Sprint (G3) March 3 at Gulfstream Park.
The 40th running of the 6 1/2-furlong event for 4-year-olds and up marked the second career stakes win and first in three tries against graded competition for Classic Rock ($13.20), and the first graded-stakes victory for trainer Kathy Ritvo since Mucho Macho Man won the 2013 Breeders' Cup Classic (G1). The winning time was 1:18.32 over a fast main track.
"He ran a great race. (Jockey) Luis (Saez) rode a perfect race," Ritvo said. "The horse was ready today. He needed some time after his last race because he had run such a big race. Mr. and Mrs. Reeves gave him the time he needed. They're perfect owners. He appreciated it."
