WinStar Farm LLC and Stonestreet Stables LLC’s unbeaten Carpe Diem staked a claim to leadership of his division with a powerful performance in the $500,000 Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity (G1) at Keeneland, taking command at the head of the stretch and drawing off with ease to a six length victory. The 2-year-old son of Giant’s Causeway, whose only other start was a 5-1/2 furlong maiden victory at Saratoga on Labor Day, has earned $349,800 to date. A $1.6-million co-sale topper at the 2014 OBS March Sale, he was purchased by Stonestreet out of the Northwest Stud consignment after working an eighth in:10 1/5 at the Under Tack Show. watch his under tack video
