KatieRich Stables' Kentucky homebred American Apple stunned her rivals with a well-timed off-the-pace victory in Saturday's $150,000 Matron (G3) at the Belmont at Big A fall meet.

She delivered a similar performance in the Matroon under patient handling by Eric Cancel to rally from 1 1 /2 lengths off the pace and secure the neck victory over the late-closing Redifined.
