Baby Ice, Fulton Street Move First Dude Up to 2nd on Sire List

    First Dude has regained the second spot on Florida’s leading sire list, thanks to two sharp performances by the 7-year-old mare Baby Ice at Monmouth Park and the 2-year-old colt Fulton Street at Gulfstream Park.

    Baby Ice won her second straight and paid $9.60, collecting a check for $16,800. The 2-year-old Fulton Street, in just her third start, sat a good stalking trip despite having to check twice in the $75,000 Proud Man Stakes on the grass but was unable to run down the two leaders in deep stretch and finished third. She earned $7,350, and the two checks raised First Dude’s progeny earnings for 2021 to $1,669,738, pushing him past Brethren on the sire list. 

    Baby Ice went wire-to-wire, scoring by a neck in 1:10.91 for six furlongs and posting an Equibase ‘E’ speed figure of 85. That’s her third highest in 42 career races during which she has registered a record of 9-7-5 with earnings of $169,135. After the 2020 season, Baby Ice took a vacation of more than five months, returning to post a 2021 record of 3-1-0 in six tries with earnings of $43,100. 

    Fulton Street, owned and bred by Flying Finish Farm, had broken her maiden on June 20 and is now 1-0-1 in her three races with earnings of $53,800.
