Like a Saltshaker (Peace and Justice) became the first winner for his freshman sire by War Front with an authoritative victory against open company at Presque Isle Tuesday. Fourth when unveiled at this oval Sept. 10, he worked a bullet half-mile in :46 4/5 here Sept. 22 in company with his stablemate Spankhurst (Speightster), who debuted in this event. Receiving Lasix for the first time in this second attempt, the PA-bred was bet down to 2-1 favoritism from an 8-1 morning-line quote. Breaking on top, the bay he was pressed through an opening quarter in :22.37 and a half in :45.18. Shaking free of his foes in the lane, Like a Saltshaker charged clear with ease to graduate by 3 1/4 lengths. Summerfest (Summer Front) was the runner-up. The winner is the first foal out of With Sprinkles, who produced a filly by Uptowncharlybrown in 2019 and a colt by that same sire this year. She was bred back to Boisterous.
