Robert and Linda Krembil were in the Gulfstream Park winner’s circle on Feb. 1 following an exciting victory by their colt EDGE OF FIRE in his career debut.
The chestnut colt by Curlin is a homebred and the first foal from Leading Edge, a Tapit gal who was third in the Grade 3 Selene Stakes. Leading Edge, a grey mare who was trained by Roger Attfield, is a daughter of the Krembil’s Essential Edge, a graded stakes winner and daughter of the family’s Rose of Tara, who has become a foundation mare for Chiefswood, which is also owned by Mark and Stacy Krembil.
Edge of Fire had a lovely learning debut in the six furlong dash as he was covered up behind pace runners around the turn before he angled out and drew off to win under a hand ride by jockey Irad Ortiz.
