Owner David A. Ross made a quick return on his investment as recent claim Jake Rattle N Roll overcame early trouble and closed strongly along the rail to capture Saturday’s Punch Line Stakes at Colonial Downs. Claimed for $15,000 on June 13, Jake Rattle N Roll is trained by Michael Pino and returned $9.80 for the win.Last year’s winner and favorite, Laure Connelly's A Reel Buster, held on for second by a neck after dueling through early fractions of 22.55 and 45.65. Native Playboy, another Ross-owned horse trained by Pino, finished third after swinging four-wide in upper stretch.
Bryan Baker’s Humming Along closed for fourth after racing five-wide around the far turn. Hugo, winner of the John D. Marsh Stakes last month, finished fifth, with El Piston, Cryptogram, Patriot Heart, The Visualiser, and Should Expect rounding out the field.
Jake Rattle N Roll is a Maryland-bred by Bop, out of Brenta by Compelling Sound.

Bop stands in W. Va.
and you mention that Jake Rattle N Roll is Maryland bred- then how did he run in the Va. Bred Punch Line stakes?
Good question. Here's how. Virginia-bred stakes are also open to registred Virginia-sired horses. When Jake Rattle N Roll was conceived Bop stood in Virginia and was a registered Virginia-sire. That makes his progenyf rom the years he stood in the Commonwealth, including Jake Rattle N Roll, eligible for both Va-bred restricted races and the 100% Owners Bonus.
