It was Barak Farm's 2-year-old filly She Is Wisky kicking off the Stronach 5, winning Laurel's seventh race in her third career start and returning $9.80.
Gulfstream's eighth race, the $65,000 Cellars Shiraz for 3-year-old fillies on the Tapeta, served as the second leg of the sequence. Live Oak Plantation's 5-1 shot Inthewinnerscircle ended up exactly there, getting up in the final strides under jockey Cristian Torres to beat Mademoiselle Nova.
It was back to Laurel for the eighth race, featuring fillies and mares going six furlongs on a race moved from the turf to the main track. Heavy favorite and two-time stakes winner Dontletsweetfoolya beat four others for a 6 ¼ length victory.
Golden Gate's fourth race, the fourth race of the Stronach 5, shook things up with the 10-1 shot Awesome Curlin rallying to beat nine other maiden claimers. The Stronach 5 concluded with Gulfstream's 10th race, a maiden claiming event for fillies and mares that went to Triplet, ridden by Edgar Prado.
