Town & Country Farms’ Stopchargingmaria was wide and out of trouble going to the far turn of the $2-million Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff (G1) at Keeneland, moved to take the lead approaching the eighth pole then held off a late charge by Stellar Wind to win by a neck.  Trained by Todd Pletcher, the 4-year-old daughter of Tale of the Cat was acquired from Repole Stables, who purchased her for $220,000 out of the Woodford Thoroughbreds consignment at the 2013 OBS March Sale after she breezed an eighth in :10 1/5 at the Under Tack Show.Stopchargingmaria is the is the third OBS graduate to take the Distaff. Jewel Princess took the 1996 renewal and Ginger Punch scored in 2007. She’s three for five this year, and her eighth graded stakes win leaves her with a 16-9-3-1 record and $2,924,000 in earnings. watch her under tack video
