Green Gratto springs 24-1 upset in Big A’s Fall Highweight (The Associated Press)
Green Gratto pulled a 24-1 upset in the $250,000 Fall Highweight Handicap, the Thanksgiving feature at Aqueduct. The longest shot in the seven-horse field set the pace under Kendrick Carmouche and held off the late charge from Palace by a head. Wheeling back on only seven days of rest, Green Gratto beat a deep field that included defending champion Salutos Amigos and La Verdad, runner up in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint last month at Keeneland.
