Drewhustle gamely held off Race Craft to win a one mile maiden special weight race for 2-year-olds Friday at Delta Downs to become the 18th winner for his sire. With two new winners this week, Outwork is now in the second spot on the First-Crop sire list.
Drewhustle stalked the Shoulda Had It for most of race before taking over in upper stretch, then withstood the late charge of the runner-up to win by a head.
The bay colt races for Norman Stables LLC and was bred by Cloyce Clark, Jr. Drewhustle is the first foal out of stakes-placed Hilarious Brown, who is a half-sister to stakes winner Xerxes Avenue.
Among Outwork’s 18 winners is $500,000 Kentucky Downs Juvenile Turf Sprint S. winner Outadore, who would go on to place in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1). Outwork was one of the most visited sires of 2020, breeding 160 mares. He is standing the 2021 season for $15,000 S&N.
