Stellar Wind Returns in Apple Blossom Cont FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 2017 STELLAR WIND RETURNS GREEN GRATTO DELIVERS, AND SO DOES HIS TRAINER By Bill Finley IN APPLE BLOSSOM Less than 48 hours after he won a Grade I race, trainer Gaston Grant was back at work, not tending to a string of million-dollar 2-year-olds or graded stakes winners, but delivering packages for UPS in the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn. It=s his real job. For every Todd Pletcher, Bob Baffert, Chad Brown, there are probably five trainers like Grant, trainers with stables so small and, normally, so unproductive that they cannot make ends meet at the racetrack. Grant didn=t train Big Brown (Boundary), but he drives for Big Brown. But it just so happens that this small stable includes one of the top 10 sprinters in the country, one that, more or less was given to Grant for free. Plagued by inconsistency throughout much of his career, Green Gratto (Here=s Zealous) has put things together this year at seven. Cont. p8 Stellar Wind | Zoe Metz by Joe Bianca After trading decisions with four-time champion Beholder IN TDN EUROPE TODAY (Henny Hughes) in four starts last season, Eclipse winner Stellar ASCOT ASSIGNMENT FOR JACK HOBBS Wind (Curlin) will look to take an early stranglehold on the older G1 Dubai Sheema Classic winner Jack Hobbs (GB) (Halling) will mare division when she makes her 5-year-old debut in the head to Royal Ascot without another run, according to trainer GI Apple Blossom H. Friday at Oaklawn. John Gosden. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. Hronis Racing purchased the chestnut from Barbara Houck and the Donald Barr barn out of an 8 3/4-length graduation at Laurel in December 2014. She cruised in the 2015 GI Santa Anita Oaks the following spring, captured three other graded events that season and was a neck second in the GI Longines Breeders' Cup Distaff to earn champion 3-year-old filly honors. Second to Beholder in the GI Vanity Mile S. in her 4-year-old bow June 4, she bested that rival in the GI Clement L. Hirsch S. and GI Zenyatta S. before running fourth behind her in the Distaff Nov. 5. AWe gave her a vacation after the Breeders= Cup, and with Southern California having such a wet January and February, we were going to be pressed to have her ready for the [Mar. 18 GI] Santa Margarita,@ trainer John Sadler told the Oaklawn notes team. AThe Apple Blossom is such a classic and prestigious race too.@ With Beholder enjoying a well-deserved retirement and a dearth of older filly/mare stars out there, the division likely will go through Stellar Wind in 2017, but to assert herself, she must first conquer the Apple Blossom with no previous experience over the Hot Springs surface.

Streamline (Straight Line), who upset Terra Promessa in the Azeri, has her work cut out for her to topple the big two, but the Illinois-bred did run a career-high when second at almost 20-1 in the Apple Blossom last spring. 12 HORSES, 12 CHANCES IN MAKER'S 46 What a View | Benoit by Joe Bianca While there is only one Grade I winner among the dozen horses set to do battle in Friday's GI Maker's 46 Mile at Keeneland, that doesn't mean the field lacks for quality, and it certainly doesn't lack for intrigue.

An enervating pace would play into the hands of many, including Jump Sucker Stable's Blacktype (Fr) (Dunkerque {Fr}).

  • Overview Friday
    OVERVIEW This year’s Breeders’ Cup races are at Santa Anita in southern California. The highlight may be the showdown between the highest earning horse in American history, California Chrome, and Arrogate who ran one of the fast races ever in winning the Travers in the BC Classic. But Friday’s Distaff is pretty exciting also with unbeaten three year old Songbird facing Beholder and Stellar Wind. There’s also the Mile on Saturday in which superstar filly Tepin tries to beat males for the second year in a row. The Turf, also on Saturday, has the filly that won the prestigious Arc in Paris last month facing top males including some pretty good ones from America. I’m going to list my top contenders, in order, for each race. The horses listed are the ones I think have a strong shot of winning. In many cases the best bet may not be the top horse. Longshots win in the BC all the time and its worth going after a few price plays. My preferred wagers are daily doubles and pick threes in which I advise using all of my listed horses in each race. These picks are made before any races are run. I will be flexible and so should you. If one trainer’s horses are over- or under-achieving, move the rest up or down. If the track seems to be biased toward a particular running style that has to be factored in as well. In other words, I might change my mind but the picks here won’t be able to be updated.
