WILMINGTON, Del. (July 5, 2021) — Legacy Ranch stallion Straight Fire sired his first winner July 5 when his son Fourteeneightyfour won a 5-furlong maiden special weight at Delaware Park in his debut effort, defeating a field of 6 other juveniles.
Bred in California by Straight Fire LLC, Fourteeneightyfour is raced by Valentin Jimenez and trained by Baltazar Galvan.
Straight Fire LLC bred the colt out of the stakes-winning Gone Astray mare, It’s High Time , who won the 2015 Florida Sire Desert Vixen Stakes and was third in both the Cassidy Stakes and Florida Sire Susan’s Girl Stakes, all at Gulfstream Park. Fourteeneightyfour was the first foal on the ground for stallion Straight Fire and is the dam’s first runner; she has a Copper Bullet colt at foot.
