Last updated: 4/17/06 4:55 PM


Grade 1 winner OFFICER (Bertrando) was represented by his first winner as a
freshman sire when Satulagi won a maiden race at Yarmouth, England, on Monday. The two-year-old filly, who was making her second
career start, captured the five-furlong turf race by a neck for trainer J. S.
Moore. Out of the winning Danzig Connection mare Shawgatny, Satulagi sold for
$70,000 at the 2004 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale.

Officer won the 2001 Champagne S. (G1), Del Mar Futurity (G2), Best Pal S.
(G3) and Graduation S. before concluding his juvenile campaign with a
third-place performance in the Hollywood Futurity (G1). In his only start at
three, the dark bay won the Zany Tactics S. at Santa Anita by six lengths for
trainer Bob Baffert. He earned $804,090 from a record of 9-6-1-1.

Officer, out of stakes winner St. Helens Shadow (Septieme Ciel), stands at
Gainesway Farm near Lexington, Kentucky, for a live foal fee of $15,000.
