A Thread of Blue proved he was more than a one dimensional speed horse when rallying from off the pace to capture the Grade 3 Palm Beach Stakes. Casa Creed made a run at the winner through the final furlong but wound up second best. Louder Than Bombs rallied belatedly to finish third in a field of eight 3-year-olds.
A Thread of Blue led throughout in each of his three previous victories including the Dania Beach going a mile here on Feb. 3. Luis Saez rode the winner once again for trainer Kiaran McLaughlin.
A Thread of Blue, a son of Hard Spun, is owned by Leonard Green. He completed a mile and one sixteenth on the turf in 1:41.93 and returned $3.00.
