IEAH Stable acquires controlling interest in Plan IEAH Stables has acquired a controlling interest in Group 3 winner PLAN (Storm Cat), a three-year-old son of Breeders' Cup Distaff (G1) heroine Spain (Thunder Gulch) who is slated to make his U.S. bow in Saturday's Secretariat S. (G1) at Arlington Park. Owned by Michael Tabor and trained by Aidan O'Brien, he was last seen defeating older horses in the Keeneland International S. (Ire-G3) at the Curragh on July 12. "Plan is a colt we were very excited to add to the stable," IEAH's Vice President of Investor Relations Mike Sherack told the TDN. "We'd seen video on him and he looked like a colt who will never have a problem staying a distance of ground, as he kept coming in the stretch to beat older horses in his latest. "(IEAH Senior Advisor) Gary Stevens also went overseas to get on him for us and everything added up. He indicated to us that American racing and firmer surfaces may also help his development, and that should be a plus. The Secretariat won't come easy, but it does look like a nice spot for him, and we're looking forward to seeing him run." Following the Secretariat, Plan will join trainer Richard Dutrow Jr.'s string at Saratoga. He will be trained by O'Brien for the Secretariat.
