Nearly rolls to maiden win!

Florida-bred Nearly made the most of his return to his home state! The exciting juvenile catapulted from a green New York debut to an impressive winner as our first starter of the season at Gulfstream Park. A tremendous amount of credit goes to the Pletcher barn, including riders Adele and Hector and groom Jose, for the transformation and to his patient partners who let him figure it out on his own timeline. The great John Velazquez knows him well and rode him to perfection. Like all of our horses, he was selected by Dr. Carr and Paula Parsons, and came up through Paula’s program at our farm in Middleburg. We can’t wait to see what he does next!
