Leading trainer Claudio Gonzalez will saddle American Barb, fifth over a muddy track in her debut Oct. 16 at Charles Town.

Gulfstream's eighth race, the Cellars Shiraz for 3-year-old fillies at a mile and 70 yards over the Tapeta, will serve as the second leg of the Stronach 5. An influx of out-of-towners have entered including Bellissime, who has two wins over all-weather for trainer Brendon Walsh. Mademoiselle Nova ships in for trainer Mark Casse after winning her last two starts at Woodbine. Casse has also entered Inthewinnerscircle, fourth last out in the Dueling Grounds Oaks. Leading trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. will saddle a pair in Tik Tok Famous and Champagne Ivy, second and third last time out respectively in the Miss Gracie at Gulfstream. Alpha Zulu, trained by Kelsey Danner, broke her maiden at Colonial before finishing fourth at Monmouth under allowance conditions.

Laurel's eighth race, the third leg of the sequence, features fillies and mares going six furlongs on the turf. Can the Queen is one of the likely favorites with two victories in her last three starts including the Sensible Lady Turf Dash at Pimlico in July. Tim Keefe will saddle Dendrobia, second in the Jameela in July at Pimlico. Two-time stakes winner Dontletsweetfoolya is entered for main track only. Triplet, seventh last out over a sloppy track, was competitive against this class in August when racing on the turf.

Golden Gate Fields plays host to the fourth leg of the Stronach 5. The mile maiden claiming event ($12,500) sees trainer Jonathan Wong sending out Luvtheoneurwith, who drops a bit in class after placing second or third in six of his first seven starts. Even Steven draws the rail and also drops in class after finishing second against $30,000 maiden claimers in September. The son of Connect comes into the race off a fifth-place finish on the turf against maiden special weight company

The Stronach 5 concludes at Gulfstream with its 10th race and fillies and mares maiden claimers going five furlongs on the Tapeta.

The Stronach 5 will feature an average field size of 10 and a low 12-percent takeout when it returns Friday with races from Laurel Park, Santa Anita Park, Gulfstream Park and Golden Gate Fields.

There were four winning tickets last week in the Stronach 5 with each returning $98,311. The popular wager had a carryover of $78,823.

The Stronach 5 begins at approximately 4:07 ET with a field of 12 allowance runners going 5 ½ furlongs on the turf at Laurel Park. Montauk Daddy gets the rail for trainer Rob Atras and jockey Charlie Marquez. Fourth over a “good turf” at Monmouth Park last out, the 4-year-old son of Daddy Long Legs won consecutive races this summer sprinting on the turf and dirt at Saratoga. Hard to Be Humble just missed last out at the distance and surface for trainer Hugh McMahon. Irish Mias hasn't raced in a year for trainer Graham Motion, but as a 3-year-old was beaten just four lengths in the Saranac (G3) and three in the Kitten's Joy (G3).

The Stronach 5 stays in Maryland for the second leg. Laurel's ninth race, a starter allowance for 3-year-olds and up at seven furlongs, Kingston Pike has had some tough luck his last two starts under jockey Grant Whitacre. The 6-year-old finished second Sept. 26 despite stumbling at the break and was placed third in his last after being checked at the eighth pole. Whitacre remains aboard for trainer Mario Serey Jr. Sneakiness arrives at Laurel after racing at Parx and Monmouth this summer. The 5-year-old has finished first or second in five of his last six starts. Rock and Fellers likes to show speed and goes for his fourth win in his last five starts.

The action shifts to California for the third leg of the Stronach 5. Santa Anita's third leg features 11 maidens, 3 and up, at 1 1/16 miles. After finishing eighth on the turf last out, Mayhem and Chaos drops in company and returns to the main track, where he finished second Sept. 24 at Los Alamitos against $40,000 claimers. The son of Union Rags will also be equipped with blinkers for trainer Ron Ellis. Mongol Altai will try to find the winner's circle in his 18th try after finishing second in both of his last starts. Big Well returns from a two-month layoff for Ryan Hanson. The first and third finishers from his last race at Del Mar both returned to win. Flavien Prat gets the mount.

Gulfstream's ninth race serves as the fourth leg of the Stronach 5. The 5 ½ furlong maiden claiming event drew a dozen 2-year-old fillies including Greatest Glory, claimed last time out by Jorge Delgado, who is 28-percent first off the claim and 31-percent in maiden claimers. Chantal Sutherland gets the ride. Mi. Tallawah and La Bokaina make their second starts after finishing third in their debut. Trainer Antonio Sano will saddle first-time starter Hannita's Empire. Edgard Zayas has the mount.

The Stronach 5 wraps up at Golden Gate Fields with the third race, another maiden race, this one a maiden special weight, for 2-year-old fillies at 5 ½ furlongs. Delia Mo, a daughter of Outwork, will try to break her maiden in her fourth race. She finished fifth in September against maiden special weight company at Los Alamitos and enters this race off a second-place finish at Fresno. Jonathan Wong sends out first-time starter Midnight's Girl as does Jamey Thomas with Don't Tell Hydee. Gold Rush Gal comes into the race off a second-place finish against restricted company Oct. 2 at Golden Gate.
