B G Suavecito became the first winner for freshman sire Suave with his impressive debut victory in a $20,500 maiden special weight at Lone Star Park on May 28th.

The 2-year-old colt covered five furlongs under Alfredo Contreras in :58.87 on a track rated fast, to win by 2 1/4-lengths after battling for the lead for the first four furlongs. B G Suavecito was the second starter from the first crop of millionaire Suave, whose first starter - 2-year-old filly Golden Phoenix - was a game second in her debut in a maiden special weight at Churchill Downs on May 21st.

B G Suavecito is one of four winners from as many starters out of multiple stakes winner Cupids Revenge, by Red Ransom.

He won the 2006 Washington Park Handicap (G2) at Arlington Park in track-record time of 1:53.53 for 1 3/16-miles.
