Paula Capestro trained two of those horses; in the six-furlong second race, six-year-old mare Miracle Merger led by a head entering the stretch but finished second, half a length behind winner Woodlandsway and, in...

I’ve never seen it happen before,” said Vessels Stallion Farm general manager Cash Vessels. Nellie Delaney and Jabut...
