Weathered wins Belmonts Belle Born Stakes September 25th, 2009
Weathered held off My Dinah by a half length Thursday to capture the $67,500 Belle Born Stakes for New York-bred fillies and mares at Belmont Park.
Weathered was the 3-5 favorite on the huge class drop, following a pair of Grade 1 stakes at Saratoga in which she ran fourth and fifth. The 4-year-old trained by Karl Grusmark earned her first victory since March in the Next Move Stakes, second of consecutive stakes wins at Aqueduct.
Mike Luzzi was aboard as Weathered improved to 10-for-20, running the 1 1-16 miles in 1:41.63 on the fast track.
Weathered paid $3.50, $2.90 and $2.20. My Dinah returned $4.50 and $3.10. Karakorum Fugitive paid $2.70 to show.
