Oceans of Honey is her sire's first stakes starter and winner

Oceans of Honey, a 2-year-old filly from the first crop of Indian Ocean, became her sire’s first stakes winner from his first stakes starter, running her record to a perfect 2-for-2 with a win in the $50,000 Tippett S. July 25 at Colonial Downs.

The speedy filly took it to the field of eight from the break of the gate, out-footing her rivals early and opening up a clear lead in the 5 ½-furlong turf dash. Oceans of Honey carved out fractions of 22.42, 45.78, 58.33 before finishing up in 1:05.11 over a firm local course to post a half-length victory while never being headed.

Trained by Odin Londono, Jr., the gray filly has started her promising career with two wins from as many starts, including an impressive 7 ¼-length debut win last month at Suffolk Downs. She now has earnings of $38,940 for owner Michelle Winters. B&B Thoroughbreds, LLC bred Oceans of Honey in Florida from the Halo’s Image mare Trust Me Honey.

Indian Ocean currently ranks as a Top 3 Freshman Sire in Florida with five winners – including stakes winner Oceans of Honey – with progeny earnings of $118,945 through July 25th. He stood 2009 for a fee of $4,000.
