Havre de Grace overcame a modest pace to run down a determined Switch and become both a Grade 1 winner and millionaire Friday in the $500,000 Apple Blossom Handicap at Oaklawn Park.
Havre de Grace won by three-quarters of a length, while Switch was a clear second, finishing a length and a quarter in front of Absinthe Minded. The Apple Blossom continued the Racing Festival of the South, when Oaklawn groups a number of major stakes together over the final week of its meet. The season will wrap up on Saturday with the Grade 1, $1 million Arkansas Derby.
