PROTON, a 2-year-old trained by Graham Motion, broke his maiden by three lengths going 5 1/5 furlongs at Colonial Downs on August 20th. Off that performance, Motion decided to step the gelding up to stakes company and entered him in the $125,000 Laurel Futurity. A bit unruly going to the gate and rank just after the start, PROTON gather himself, stalked the pace, went three wide coming out of the turn and drew clear in the stretch to win by a length at the wire.
