About 24 hours before Lane’s End Farm’s City of light (Quality Sugar–Paris Notion, by Dehere) celebrates his first American winner in the form of Roja Ligera, who started his second in Ellis Park, the first crop stallion represented by the first winner fairy when the pony City of knowledge race to graduate by day on a 5 1/2-long stipend on a sloppy strip at Hipodromo Camarero outside San Juan, Puerto Rico, Saturday, July 30.

Knocked out of pick 4-5 seconds in field six, $100,000 of September Keeneland aspiration and $32,000 of March OBS were won and quickly overtook lead runner Juan Diaz by one quarter mile opens in: 23.24. Opening the door ahead of its rivals in the first leg, black bay carried a five-length advantage into the last eight of the mile and continued to be top priority. Husky handler (Machining) equals a handy 5 3/4 length. The final time was 1:04.71 (see below, SC 3).

Bred in Kentucky by Betz/B&K Canetti/J Betz/DJ Stables/Graves/GTL, City of Knowledge was the first pony out of three wins and Mo Knows earned $174,425 (Uncle Mo), half-sister to GSW & GISP Payton d’Oro, who was acquired by Bill Betz’s Betz Thoroughbreds for $285,000 with the pony in utero at Keeneland’s November 2019 Sale. Mo Knows is also the dam of a pony yearning by American pharoah and a pony of Evenly.

Roja Ligera scored a weekend double for City of light when running out of winners 1/4 the length of a sloppy Ellis maiden on July 31. The Bay filly won some nibbles 9-1 for their July 1 debut at Churchill, but bombed from the very beginning and ended well.

Epic to win GI Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile and GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational S., City of light is a stallion of 101 race-age ponies and stood for the most recent breeding season for $60,000 at Lane’s End.
