DRAIN THE CLOCK’s Reddam Island was a debut winner on Wednesday night when the filly won a Maiden Special Weight as the race favorite.
Starting her career going 4 ½ furlongs at Charles Town, Reddam Island broke strongly and immediately forced the leader into a pressured pace. That pair dueled through much of the running with the third placed runner six lengths behind them.
That duel lasted until the shadow of the wire when Reddam Island started to pull away, giving her a half-length margin of victory at the line with no other horses within 11 ½ lengths of them.
Trained by Jeff Runco for David Kenney, the Dr. Maurice Casey III-bred had registered a bullet two works before her debut.
Reddam Island is one of four winners from six to race out of the winning Kiana’s Dream. That mare is a full sister to Grade 2-placed Join In The Dance and half-sister to stakes placed Cuyathy, whose three stakes performers include Grade 1 winner Johannes. Grade 2 winner Elm Drive and stakes winner Mother of Dragons are also among the runners under Kiana’s Dream’s sisters.
DRAIN THE CLOCK is the sire of 10 first crop winners with three stakes performers in 2026.
