Succes for Irish-breds

IRISH-bred Pantsonfire won a tough allowance at Santa Anita last Saturday for trainer Richard Baltas and owners Next Wave Racing, Pat Maciarello, Jeremy Peskoff and Mark Silverstein. Bred by Peter Reynolds and Robert Dore, the daughter of Sir Percy has now won three races since moving to California last summer.

Elsewhere, Irish-breds Onthewaytoonevrland and No Bang No Boom hit the board in their two-year-old debuts on opening weekend at Keeneland for Wesley Ward.
