ARCADIA, Calif. - Storming Home scored a decisive victory in Sunday's $245,000 at Santa Anita, emphasizing his status as a top contender for the $2 million Breeders' Cup Turf on Oct. 25.
Equally as important, the win helped restore jockey Gary Stevens's confidence in Storming Home. In the Arlington Million on Aug. 16, Storming Home veered out sharply and unseated Stevens after the finish. Storming Home was disqualified and placed fourth for causing interference in the final strides, and Stevens suffered a collapsed lung in the spill.
