Vessels Stallion Farm homebred Stealinthejackpot rallied in the stretch under Luis Martinez to win the ninth race at Santa Rosa on Monday and become the first career winner for Grade 2-winning freshman sire Jackpot.
 
Out of the winning Open Forum mare Rippled Effect, Stealinthejackpot won the 5 1/2-furlong maiden claiming race in 1:05.67 on a track rated as fast in his career debut for trainer Steven Miyadi.

Jackpot, a ten-year-old by Seeking the Gold out of the multiple Grade 1-placed Cox’s Ridge mare Frolic, stood the 2008 breeding season for $3,500 at Vessels Stallion Farm in Bonsall, California. He has 19 two-year-olds in his first crop.

Campaigned by Cynthia Phipps and trained by Shug McGaughey, Jackpot won four of 16 starts and earned $288,915 in four seasons. His biggest win came in his final race as Jackpot won the Gulfstream Park Handicap (G2) by two lengths in 2004.
