Trainer Todd Pletcher extended his all-time record number of Keeneland stakes victories to 59 on Saturday with triumphs by Shadwell Stable s Malathaat in the Central Bank Ashland (G1) and Starlight Racing s Jouster in the Appalachian (G2) Presented by Japan Racing Association.
“They are all good this morning,” reported Amelia Green, who is overseeing Pletcher s string at Keeneland that also includes Ghazaaly, winner of Saturday s first race.
Malathaat, by Curlin, earned a berth in the $1.25 million Kentucky Oaks (G1) with her victory. The Oaks will be run April 30, the same day as the $300,000 Edgewood (G2) that could be a possible spot for the Noble Mission filly Jouster to return.
