Newtown Anner Stud, James Covello and Joseph Bulger’s Falling Sky, who topped last month’s Horses of Racing Age section of the OBS Winter Mixed Sale, produced a quick return on investment, taking the lead at the start of the $202,500 Sam F. Davis Stakes (G3) at Tampa Bay Downs then holding off the late charge of favored Dynamic Sky to win his first stakes race by a neck. The 3-year-old colt by Lion Heart, consigned by Off the Hook, went to Justin Casse, Agent, for $425,000 to top the sale. Now 4-3-0-0, he has earned $164,800 to date. watch his under tack video
