About
Stimulate, a 3yo gr/ro foal from the United States trained by William I. Mott, is by Tapit out of Elate. The horse has taken two wins so far, highlighted by its most important victory on 23 Aug 2026 at Saratoga, where it earned the $120000.00 Race 9 purse. It has been a profitable runner for bettors, and anyone who backed Stimulate throughout its career would have enjoyed a 40% return on investment.
