In the second leg, Swiss Swoo (5-2) just got up in the final stride under jockey Juan Hernandez to win Santa Anita's third race. The third leg, Laurel's Race 9, produced a 23-1 winner in Bedtimebourbon under jockey Forest Boyce, and was followed with a 12-1 winner in Golden Gate's third race in Senor Del Campo.
The Stronach 5 concluded with Santa Anita's fourth race and Queen Ofthe Temple winning at odds of 2-1.

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.
