Jeannie Liz set an uncontested pace and cruised to a three-length win in the first race at Hastings Race Course on Saturday to become the first career winner for freshman sire Recreation.

Trained by Tom Longstaff for owners TNT Racing Stable, Street Range, and Rainbow Stables, Jeannie Liz completed the 3 1/2-furlong maiden claiming race in :40.38 on a track rated fast as the even-money favorite. She is out of stakes-placed winner Rainbows Forever, by Vying Victor.

A ten-year-old by Storm Cat out of the Grade 1-winning Devil’s Bag mare Devil’s Orchard, Recreation stood the 2008 breeding season for $956 ($1,000 Canadian) at Road’s End in Abbotsford, British Columbia. He has six two-year-olds in his first crop.

Winless in six career starts for owner-breeder Shannon Farms, Recreation is a half brother to stakes winners Mountain Orchard and Unification. Group 1 winner Favourable Terms (GB) is a notable member of the female family.
