In horseracing, success is celebrated with stories like this one. Sold to Centennial farms for $4511 as a yearling, Hip 132 is now called Niagara Skyline and is trained by John Charalambous.
After six starts in 2021 and not getting to the wire first, Niagara Skyline finally broke his maiden on May 14, 2022 in a maiden optional claimer going 6 1/2 on the all-weather track. Since then the four-year-old gelding has hit the wire another three times this year and racked up purse earnings of $101,593 for 2022.
It has been quite some time since his debut in Keeneland on April 23 2021 with hopeful dreams and freshness but he looks to be a developed racehorse now and is quite speedy. His highest speed figure so far has been 109 on the turf going six furlongs. That's a step forward and some potential is there for this four-year-old gelding by War Dancer.
