Hold Me Back firster draws off in MSW debut

Iknowsheknowsiknow gave Top-5 freshman sire Hold Me Back his second winner from his first crop on Friday evening at Canterbury, with an impressive stretch run to win the maiden special weight contest by a widening 4 1/4-lengths (VIDEO).

The winner is the first foal out of the Glitteman mare Miami Bling, who is a half-sister to the stakes winner Miami Deco. Iknowsheknowsiknow is owned by her trainer Kevin Eikleberry in partnership with Lloyd Yother and Marvin Fleming.

From his 78 named 2-year-olds, Hold Me Back has had two winners from just four starters to date. He currently ranks third on the 2014 Freshman Sire list and stood the 2014 season at WinStar Farm for $6,000 live foal.
