Top-five First-Crop sire Klimt stellar July results continued with Bonus Appreciation’s July 11 maiden special weight win at Monmouth Park.

Bonus Appreciation, who sold for $100,000 as a Keeneland September Yearling, was a 2 1/2-length winner in the five-furlong race for 2-year-olds. He is trained by Steve Asmussen for Kirk and Judy Robinson.
Bonus Appreciation was bred in Kentucky by Southern Comfort Farm, LLC.
Klimt now has five First-Crop winners and is fourth on the Freshman Sires list with $219,031.
