The Stronach 5 will have a carryover of $97,891.79 Jan. 22 after there were no winning tickets in Friday's popular wager.
The Stronach 5, with an industry-low 12-percent takeout and featuring races from Laurel Park, Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita Park and Golden Gate Fields, started with a bang Friday when Step by Step won the opening leg and the eighth race at Laurel and returned $54.
That longshot was followed up by Katniss Kas ($17.20) winning Gulfstream's eighth race and the second leg of the Stronach 5 and Spanish d'Oro ($20.20) winning Laurel's ninth race and third leg of the sequence.
The Stronach 5 moved to California for the last two legs. Bang for Your Bucks ($23.60) won Santa Anita's third race before Colavito ($9.20) took the final leg and third race from Golden Gate.
