California freshman sire Roi Charmant registered his first winner June 8 at Golden Gate Fields when Pheisty Kid gamely captured a maiden special weight sprint in his second effort (VIDEO).
The 2-year-old gelding showed early speed in the field of 10, dueled on the rail, and inched away in the stretch to win by a 1/2 length in :52.42. Sergio Ledezma's trainee adds to a third place finish in his first start, and boosts his earnings to $25,272 for his owner and breeder, Billy Hipwell. Pheisty Kid was bred in California out of the Lyphaness mare, Pheiffer.
Roi Charmant retired in 2010 following a four-race winning streak, with earnings of $337,678. In the money in 18 of his 27 starts, he recorded a total of eight wins on dirt, turf, and over synthetic courses and had career earnings of $337,678.
