   Lothenbach Stables’ Bearpath won his first stakes with a 3/4 length victory over Never on Sunday in the GIII Pan American Stakes at Gulfstream on March 27th, 2010.  The Dynaformer gelding out of Song n’ Silk (Unbridled’s Song) went off unnoticed at 19-1 in the field of nine marathoners going 1 1/2 miles on the turf.

   With jockey Frederic Lenclud in the stirrups, Bearpath was never far from the pace before pulling away just inside the eighth. Bringing his winnings up to $184,630, this is the fourth win for the four year-old gelding.

   Chesapeake Farm is excited to cheer Bearpath on as he gears up for the GII Elkhorn Stakes at Keeneland on April 23rd.
