Cross Country Pick 5 Posts Nice Payout

The Cross Country Pick 5 on Saturday, featuring racing from Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y., Monmouth Park in Oceanport, N.J., and Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario, tallied a total pool of $87,895.50, paying out $1,437 for selecting all five winners for the 50-cent wager.

Whispering Pines started the wager by overtaking Midtown Rose in the stretch and pulling away for a 3 1/4-length victory under jockey Jose Ortiz to win the seven-furlong allowance sprint for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up in Race 7 at Belmont. Trained by Horacio DePaz, Whispering Pines, off at 9-2, returned $11.80 on a $2 win wager.

Woodbine got into the action when Linda Loves Lace, an 11-1 selection, went gate-to-wire for a 1 1/4-length win over Elite Princess in a 5 1/2-furlong sprint over the all-weather track in Race 7. Trained by John Staples and ridden by Steven Bahen, Linda Loves Lace paid $25.90.

The sequence's biggest surprise came in the lone stakes race, when 79-1 Informative bested favorite and last year's Grade 1 Haskell runner-up Ny Traffic by one length to win the Grade 3 Salvator Mile in Monmouth Park's Race 10. Informative, piloted by Jose Ferrer for trainer Uriah St. Lewis, was a $161.60 winner for topping the 10-horse field of 3-year-olds and up.

Conversely, the fourth leg saw the only favorite to win in the sequence, when Speightstown Shirl defeated Confident by three-quarters of a length to win the one-mile turf maiden event for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up in Woodbine's Race 8. Conditioned by Roger Attfield and ridden by Rafael Hernandez, Speightstown paid $3.70.

Closing the sequence was Fifty Sheas Ofgrey, who returned $25.40 after holding off He'spuregold by a head in the 1 1/16-mile turf maiden special weight for 3-year-olds and up in Monmouth's Race 11. The Carlos David trainee, ridden by Hector Diaz, Jr., topped the 10-horse field.

The minimum bet for the multi-track, multi-race wager is 50 cents. Wagering on the Cross Country Pick 5 is also available on track, on ADW platforms, and at simulcast facilities across the country. Every week will feature a mandatory payout of the net pool.

The Cross Country Pick 5 will continue each Saturday throughout the year. For more information, visit NYRABets.com.

Pricey Upstart Filly Goes Two for Two at Pimlico

5th-Pimlico, $50,904, Alw (NW1X)/Opt. Clm ($62,500), 6-13, 3yo, f, 6f, 1:10.27, ft, 6 lengths.
EDIE MEENY MINY MO (f, 3, Upstart–Plum {SW, $128,440}, by Pure Prize) continued a promising start to her career Sunday at a somewhat surprising 3-1 while sporting blinkers for the first time. A sharp :10 flat breezer at Fasig-Tipton Midlantic last year, the dark bay debuted a 4 1/4-length winner in a waiver maiden claimer (not in for the tag as the race condition is effectively a state-bred maiden special weight plus open $40,000 maiden claimer) here Apr. 23, and was flattered when two also-rans from that heat came back to graduate and two more ran second. With the money pouring in on Liv and Let Liv (Khozan), a big-figure last-out winner at the level, Edie Meeny Miny Mo was pushed along up the inside before getting shuffled back into the turn. She made a nifty move along with the chalk as those two took over approaching the stretch, but made quick work of her more fancied rival to romp impressively. The winner has an unraced 2-year-old half-brother named Gig (Bodemeister), a yearling half-brother by Twirling Candy and a foal half-sister by Unified. Sales history: $120,000 Ylg '19 EASOCT; $400,000 2yo '20 EASMAY. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $51,984. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.

Sutherland Logs Her 1,100th Career Win

After notching her 1,100th career victory Sunday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., Chantal Sutherland had no doubts whatsoever that she had made the right career choice when she opted to return to South Florida to ride full time during the Spring/Summer Meet.

The multiple Grade 1 stakes-winning jockey, who rode Kathy Mongeon-trained Anonymous Source ($34) for a rallying victory in Race 3, has certainly been well received by horsemen and fans alike.

“I'm very grateful to Kathy and all the trainers who are supporting me. I love Gulfstream. Everyone is amazing,” said Sutherland, while making her way to the jockey's room, stopping several times to accommodate fans' requests for selfies. “This is a special day to win 1100 because it's Sunday. I went to church this morning. I was hoping, but I didn't ask for it. I just said I want to have a safe, wonderful day.”

The 45-year-old native of Windsor, Canada has ridden 16 winners while being supported by a wide range of trainers during the Spring/Summer Meet.

“I love it here. It feels a lot like L.A. I feel like California is really my home, but not much anymore. I love Canada, but it's too cold,” Sutherland said. “I love Florida, and Gulfstream's amazing.”
