Needles Aiming For 3-Year Title
The Needles team, based at Ocala Florida, continues a bid for a third straight year of major stakes success. In recent races including the Belmont Stakes and Florida events, Needles led at the finish despite late pressure, with only a halflength gap at the Preakness where stamina finally showed. The D and H Stable holds the mount in key events, and Calumet Farm’s conquest in the Preakness sets high stakes as the Belmont looms with a seven-length lead late in the race. The venture has yielded over a half million in winnings from the initial $20,000 investment.
