2nd-Churchill Downs, $117,525, Msw, 5-24, 2yo, 5f, :58.09, gd, 3/4 length.
THREE ECHOES (c, 2, Echo Town–Bayou Miss, by Dixie Union) broke outwardly and had to overcome a brief round of bumper cars but recovered well to track from third in this unveiling. Set on the inland route as the early leaders stayed together entering the home stretch, Three Echoes scraped the paint as he squeezed through a narrow opening passing the furlong pole, and had to muscle his way to racing room when brushing with Charlie Tolu (Cinco Charlie). Edging past that foe, the 5-2 second choice hit the wire three-quarters of a length to the good and became sire Echo Town (by Speightstown)'s first winner in the process.
On debut #1 THREE ECHOES ($7.70) was brave coming up a small hole on the rail to get up and win race 2 at Churchill Downs. The 2yo son of Echo Town was ridden by Keith Asmussen and is trained by Steve Asmussen.
