Pletcher Headed Toward GP Spring Title

With six days left in Gulfstream Park’s spring meet, Todd Pletcher has 27 wins and appears headed toward the trainers’ championship.

Defending champion Antonio Sano has 17 wins in the 59-day meet that resumes on Thursday and will end Friday June 30. Ralph Ziadie and Angel Rodriguez are tied for third with six wins each.

Pletcher has led Gulfstream trainers in each of the last 14 championship meets, which run from early December through early April.

He keeps horses at Palm Beach Downs in Delray Beach for the championship meet, and usually moves most of them back to northern states by early April.

This year, he has kept a string behind, but is now gradually sending them north. At Gulfstream he has one horse entered Thursday and no entries on Friday or Saturday.

At the spring meet, he has started 73 horses. In addition to 27 wins, he has 19 second place finishes and five third place finishes.
Tyler Gaffalione leads jockeys with 88 victories, and Edgard Zayas is second with 65.

Defending champ Frank Carl Calabrese leads owners with 15 victories, followed by Midwest Thoroughbreds with nine.
