Destin’s good looks and pedigree are certain to get the breeders’ attention.” Destin won fve of 15 starts, placed four times, and earned $947,800. A nose away from being a classic winner in the 2016 Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets (G1), he won three graded stakes, including a record-setting performance as a 3-year-old in the Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby (G2) 1 when he ran 1 ⁄16 miles in 1:42.82. One start before the Tampa Bay Derby, Destin scored in the Sam F. Davis Stakes (G3) and later ran sixth in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1). He fnished third in Saratoga Race Course’s Jim Dandy Stakes (G2) just after his 3 Belmont Stakes effort. At 4 Destin won the 1 ⁄4-mile Marathon Stakes Presented by TAA (G2) during Del Mar’s Breeders’ Cup SV PHOTOGRAPHY World Championships meet.

Green Gratto to Total Bloodstock Farm Grade 1 winner Green Gratto has been retired from racing and will stand stud at Robert Wright’s Total Bloodstock Farm near Fort Edward, N.Y. The 8-year-old son of Here’s Zealous will stand for $2,000. “We are excited to add a horse with the quality of Green Grat- to to the New York stallion program,” Wright said. “He is an ab- solute stunner at 17 hands with elite balance and athleticism for his size, and as a racehorse he was a true warrior. He had speed to burn, and we love that he was a sound horse, able to start 65 times against the best competition. He will add toughness and quality to the breeding program.” The stud deal was brokered by agent Peter-John Parsard. Raced by owner/trainer Gaston Grant and Anthony Grant— along with Basil Greene for the frst half of his career—Green Gratto came into his own as an older horse and won or placed in six graded stakes. He delivered his best in 2017, when he won the Carter Handicap (G1). He compiled a 9-9-9 record out of 65 starts and earned $1,149,202.

Bred in New Jersey by Kaz Hill Farm, Green Gratto is out of ADAM COGLIANESE/NYRA the winning Smokester mare Starship Smokester. Green Gratto earned more than $1.1 million

Francis Paolangeli’s Gold for the King Still Golden repeats in the BY PAUL VOLPONI Thunder Rumble OWNER/BREEDER FRANCIS PAOLANGELI runs a construction company in Itha- ca, N.Y., so it’s easy to see that building is one of his natural strengths. Along with the help of trainer Charlton Baker, Paolangeli has done a terrifc job assembling the founda- tion of a strong Thoroughbred stable, which includes Verdant Pastures (Colonel John— Stormy’s Smile by Stormy Atlantic), winner of the 2017 Empire Distaff Handicap. Paolangeli’s frst Thoroughbred purchase was an impulse buy. He’d won $1,400 at the track one afternoon and went back to the Finger Lakes barn area with a friend who owned a horse. A runner heading back toward the barn caught Paolangeli’s eye, and after a brief negotiation and an exchange of $800, Paolangeli was a Thorough- bred owner. Though that initial purchase didn’t prove particularly fruitful, Paolangeli continued to hone his eye for evaluating horsefesh. In 2007 Paolangeli acquired Gold for the Queen (by Gold Token) for $2,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Eastern fall yearling sale. The transaction was made for him by Leonard Short of Mile-Away Farm in Southern Pines, N.C. At the time, however, Paolangeli was anything but pleased. “I really gave him heck about it,” said Paolangeli. “I told him, ‘I don’t need a cheap horse like this. I’m willing to spend some money for quality.’ But he was absolutely right about her.”
