Multiple graded stakes-winning millionaire Western Pride sired the first winner from his debut crop, as 2-year-old filly Straight Western went gate-to-wire in a Trial race on April 17th at Turf Paradise.

Straight Western broke well and opened up on the field of nine, taking a five-length advantage into the stretch of the 4 ½-furlong heat. The bay filly hit the wire on top in a final time of 53.07 over a fast track. The Trial was a qualifier for the $50,000 ATBA Spring Sales S. to be run May 3rd at Turf Paradise.

Out of the mare Straight Time, who is by Signature Stallions' Straight Man, Straight Western was bred in Florida by farm owner William Schettine, making her a 100% Signature product. She was also sold as a yearling by Signature Sales. 

Straight Western is currently trained by Derek Couch for owner Matt Keneley.

Western Pride, a three-time Derby-winning 3-year-old and four-time graded stakes winner, stands at Signature Stallions in Ocala, Florida for a fee of $2,500.
