RESULTS Gulfstream March 28

Florida Derby $750,000 Grade I
(Official Order of finish; Pre-race #)


1st Quality Road (11.5-Highest Rating)
2nd Dunkirk (9.6- Second Highest Rating)
3rd Theregoesjojo (7.9- Third Highest Rating)


System hits the straight triple as Quality Road (Elusive Quality) held off the chugging-Dunkirk (Unbridled's Song). Sent off as the second-choice, Quality Road was a steal, at a poultry 6-5, if you're playing System numbers being that he was 1.9 points higher than the second-high, Dunkirk.

With the early scratch of fourth-highest number Danger to Society, Stately Character moves up and completes the straight superfecta ($72.20) for The System.


Swale Stakes $150,000 Grade II
(Official Order of Finish; Pre-race #)

1st- This Ones for Phil (7.5- Third Highest Rating)
2nd- Big Drama (8.7- Highest Rating)
3rd- Custom for Carlos (8- Second Highest Rating)


System-high Big Drama (Montbrook) crossed the wire first and in a track record time of 1:20.88. However, two bumps in mid-stretch were considered severe enough to take the initial winner down.

Although this really screwed with straight Pick 3's and doubles, the boxed System triple ($51.60) was still live. Although the favorite moving up didn't help the payout.
