About
Stars And Strides, a 4yo colt from the United States, is trained by William I. Mott. He is by American Pharoah out of Holiday Blues and has recorded three career victories. On September 2, 2025, at Saratoga, he earned his biggest win to date in the $135,000 Saranac Stakes. The horse has been a profitable choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 236% return on investment.
