It was a 15th winner for Epicenter when Epic Spender (2f Epicenter x Ha’Penny, by Medaglia d’Oro) won a Remington Park maiden. Racing over five furlongs on the dirt, Epic Spender was kept close to the leader by Erik Asmussen. Racing to the inside of the leader, she slipped through an opening coming into the stretch before drawing away. Epic Spender won by 3 ½ lengths with only one horse within nearly nine lengths of her at the end. Epic Spender is trained by Steve Amussen for Winchell Thoroughbreds, who bought the filly for $185,000 at Fasig-Tipton July. The filly was bred by D. J. Stable as the first named foal out of three-time winner Ha’ Penny. That mare out of Uncle Mo’s Grade 3 winner Mo’ Green is a half-sister to American Pharoah’s Grade 2 winner and Grade 1-place Zanny and two other winners from three Ha’ Penny siblings to race. Epicenter’s first juvenile crop includes four stakes performers, including a stakes winner.
