GULFSTREAM TODAY 1.25.12

Afleet Lass captured her fourth consecutive victory –her first under the colors of Gainesway Thoroughbreds - in the second race, a $32,000 optional claiming race for fillies and mares that have raced for a claiming price of $16,000 or less.

Now trained by Todd Pletcher, the defending eight-time training champion at Gulfstream Park, Afleet Lass was sent to post as the 1-9 favorite. The 5-year-old daughter of Northern Afleet, who was privately purchased from owner/trainer Jose Pinchin since her previous start, scored a front-running victory by 1 ½ lengths under John Velazquez.
