Fairbanks Wins Keep Coming With 27 1/2-length Score

Freshman sire Fairbanks' first crop runners continue to impress with their sire's third winner in less than a month when LIST TICKET dominated a full field on Oct. 11 at Laurel Park. The bay 2-year-old gelding exploded down the stretch in the one mile maiden test before easily running away with a whopping 27 1/2- length romp on the main track.

Bred in Maryland by internationally acclaimed performer Burt Bacharach, LIST TICKET is out of the Phone Trick mare Call Home Eileen and is trained by Richard Small for Country Roads, Ltd..

FAIRBANKS is the leading freshman sire in the Mid-Atlantic region. The son of Giant’s Causeway, unraced at 2, proved a monster when the races got longer, getting six wins, all at distances greater than a mile, including the 1 1/4-mile Hawthorne Gold Cup Handicap-G2 and 1 1/8-mile Tokyo City Handicap-G3. His average winning margin was more than four and a half lengths. Also Grade 1 stakes-placed, FAIRBANKS earned $879,768 during his career.
