Save Rock and Roll plays winning tune

Leading freshman sire Super Saver rang up his second winner of the day Saturday when Save Rock and Roll dominated a field of 2-year-old fillies at Monmouth Park by 4 3/4-length in her career debut.

Earlier in the afternoon, Hashtag Bourbon gave Super Saver his first stakes winner with a similarly dominant victory in the $100,000 Mountaineer Juvenile.

Save Rock and Roll tarried off the pace for the first three furlongs, then unleashed a powerful stretch rally to soar by the frontrunners and win going away. The winner covered the five and one-half  furlongs on a sloppy main track in 1:04.71 (VIDEO).

Super Saver now has five winners from his first crop, with earnings in excess of $270,000, both figures in the top 5 on the First Crop Sire list.
