Stubbins

Stubbins broke his maiden on turf in his third start, launching a three-race winning streak that included the Pasadena Stakes on a sloppy dirt surface. He then traveled to Dubai and finished sixth in the UAE Derby in March of his 3-year-old season. He was given a vacation after that excursion and returned to the turf with a third-place finish in an allowance race at Del Mar in July. Stubbins finished second in the Franklin-Simpson Stakes, a turf sprint at Kentucky Downs, and found his way back to the winner's circle in the Grade 2 Woodford Stakes presented by Keeneland Select at Keeneland in October. 

Stubbins was a $130,000 2-year-old in training purchase. He is a son of Morning Line, out of the British-bred Sierra Vista.
