Newgate Farm shuttler The Factor (USA) sired his second winner in the US on the weekend with a runaway debut winner in Iron Mane for renowned globe-trotting trainer Wesley Ward.
A homebred for Calumet Farm, Iron Mane stalked the leader and then zoomed through on the inside to dash right away and win the five furlong turf maiden at Indiana Grand by six and three-quarter lengths
Iron Mane is a sibling to Group III winner Cause to Believe and stakes-winner Imaginary Sailor being the eighth winner from terrific producer Imaginary Cat.
An explosive grey dual Group I winning son of War Front, The Factor returns to Newgate this spring at a fee of $16,500 and will have his first Australian bred yearlings at sales in 2017.
