Although the graded stakes schedule was relatively light last weekend, there still were still a couple of notable changes in the latest American Graded Stakes Standings charts.
Olorda (Ger) earned her second graded stakes win of the year when went gate-to-wire in the Grade 3 Bewitch Stakes at Keeneland. The 4-year-old daughter of Lord of England captured the G3 The Very One at Gulfstream Park earlier this year for her first stakes win in North America. As a result of the two victories, Olorda moved into a tie for third on the American Graded Stakes Standings list of leading horses.
Piloting Olorda to victory at Keeneland was Julien Leparoux, who earned his ninth graded stakes win of the year. That moved the former Eclipse Award-winning jockey back into a tie for first with Javier Castellano and Florent Geroux on the AGS list of leading jockeys.
In addition to winning aboard Olorda twice, Leparoux has found success with Baciami Piccola (GB) (G3 Florida Oaks), Lightstream (G3 Beaumont), Heart to Heart (G2 Fort Lauderdale, G3 Canadian Turf), and the mighty Tepin (G1 Jenny Wiley, G3 Endeavour, G3 Hillsborough).
