Maryland-bred Quint’s Brew (Edward Allard barn) dominated in the General George Stakes on Saturday at Laurel Park, earning a 124 Equibase Speed Figure under Mychel Sanchez - the highest ESF of the year!

He’s 2-for-2 in 2025, winning the Jennings Stakes (121 ESF) in January & Saturday’s General George by a combined 11 ½ lengths.

With 4 wins & a second from 5 starts, this Mosler gelding has never earned below a 93 ESF! 🔥🏇
