Lockstocknpharoah
Front Runner
“Lockstocknpharoah is a front-running warrior who dares anyone to come get him. When he gets loose on the lead, good luck catching him. He's got that Triple Crown sire bloodline swagger — ears pricked, head high, running like he owns the place. The problem? When they do catch him, it can get ugly late.”
Fun Facts
- Named as a play on his sire American Pharoah and the movie 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels'
- Broke his maiden on debut at Churchill Downs by 6 lengths
- His GPS breakaway speed from the gate (15.1 ft/s first furlong) is actually the slowest of any front runner in the database — he builds into his lead rather than sprinting for it
