The Elkstone Group’s Social Paranoia picked up the first graded victory of his career when he sailed home down the center of deep stretch to win the $100,000 Appleton Stakes (G3T) March 28 at Gulfstream Park.
In a chaotic break from the gate, several runners vied for the early lead in the Appleton. Among those battling it out was Dr. Edgar, who cut between horses and shifted towards the rail to take control through the first quarter-mile :23.55.
