Friday’s Stronach 5 Features Four Turf Races, $100,000 Guaranteed Pool

Four races scheduled on the turf and a $100,000 guaranteed pool highlight Friday's Stronach 5.

The popular wager, with an industry-low 12-percent takeout, will feature three races from Laurel Park and one each from Gulfstream Park and Golden Gate Fields.

Laurel's seventh race, a $42,000 allowance event for fillies and mares going 1 1/16 mile on the All Along Turf Course, begins the Stronach 5 sequence. Cambeliza returns from a 10-month layoff for trainer Arnaud Delacour. The 4-year-old daughter of Curlin broke her maiden at Kentucky Downs last September before finishing third in an allowance event in October at Keeneland.

Gulfstream's ninth race, a turf event for maiden 3-year-olds and up, is up next with a field of 10 going 1 1/16 mile. Laurel's eighth race, for fillies and mares bred or sired in Maryland, will be the third leg while Laurel's ninth race, a mile turf event for fillies and mares on the Dahlia Turf Course, will be the fourth leg. Laurel's ninth race features stakes-placed Bunting and Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Michael House's Celebre, making her second start in the U.S. for trainer Graham Motion.

The Stronach 5 wraps up at Golden Gate Fields with the second race, a 1 1/16 mile turf event for maiden claimers 3-year-olds and up. Chase and Colorado will make his first start for trainer Jack Steiner. The son of Tapit drops in after nine-month layoff having spent August, October and November racing at Santa Anita and Del Mar. Cape Point is the 5-2 morning-line favorite in the 10-horse field off a third-place finish last time out.

The minimum wager on the multi-race, multi-track Stronach 5 is $1. If there are no tickets with five winners, the entire pool will be carried over to the next Friday.

If a change in racing surface is made after the wagering closes, each selection on any ticket will be considered a winning selection. If a betting interest is scratched, that selection will be substituted with the favorite in the win pool when wagering closes.

The Maryland Jockey Club serves as host of the Stronach 5.
