LNJ Foxwoods’ Constellation took charge of Aqueduct’s $150, 000 Furlough Stakes on Thanksgiving Day approaching the head of the stretch and she rolled from there to an 8-1/4 length victory. It’s the first stakes win for the 2-year-old graded stakes placed daughter of Bellamy Road, second in the Matron (G2) and third in the Spinaway (G1). Trained by Steve Asmussen, the win leaves her with a 4-2-1-1 record and earnings of $214,800. After breezing an Under Tack eighth in :9 4/5, she was purchased for $800,000 out of the Northwest Stud consignment at the 2015 OBS March Sale. watch her under tack video
