Few active thoroughbred owners are as synonymous with top-level success on the New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) circuit as Mike Repole, who will be represented by Overtook (Curlin – Got Lucky by A.P. Indy) in Saturday’s Grade 1, $1.5 million Belmont Stakes presented by NYRA Bets.

Trained by Hall of Famer Todd Pletcher, Overtook, a $1 million purchase from the 2019 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, is owned by Repole in partnership with St. Elias Stable, Michael Tabor, Mrs. John Magnier and Derrick Smith. The colt’s dam won the Grade 1 Spinster Stakes and is a half-sister to graded winners Girolamo, Accelarting and Daydreamimg.

As a lifelong New Yorker and racing fan, Repole said he takes pride in having conquered some of the most prestigious races in the Empire State and beyond.
