Back to Top Page 15 Social Paranoia Pointed to Fourstardave BY NYRA PRESS OFFICE ______ELMONT, NY—The Elkstone Group's Social Paranoia matched a career-best 100 Beyer Speed Figure for his wide-rallying score in Saturday's $150,000 Poker Stakes (Grade 3) at one-turn mile on the Belmont Park turf. Trainer Todd Pletcher said the turnback in distance following an off-the-board effort in the nine-furlong Fort Marcy Stakes (G2) was beneficial. "It was good to see him get back in the winner's cir- cle. I think he enjoyed the mile distance and being off the pace a little bit," Pletcher said. "I think [jockey] Jose [Ortiz] sensed a slow pace and wanted to get him out in plenty of time to get his run together. It worked out well." Social Paranoia is likely to take aim at the $400,000 Fourstardave Handicap (G1) set for Aug. 22 at Saratoga. Repole Stable and Eclipse Thoroughbreds' Moretti followed up on his June 11 Flat Out Stakes romp with a runner-up effort in the Saturday's Grade 2 Suburban Handicap (G2) won by Tacitus. "I was proud of him for fighting it out for second. It seems like he's continuing to improve as he gets older. The winner was very good on the day," Pletcher said. Pletcher said the $100,000 Birdstone at a mile-and- three-quarters on Aug. 2 and the 10-furlong Woodward Handicap (G1) on Sep. 5 loom as possible options at the Spa for Moretti. "We'll keep all our options in place. He seems to thrive at longer distances," Pletcher said.
