Crossbow, the even-money favorite in the fifth race at Gulfstream Park today, engaged in a battle with Sovereign Default from the start and proved victorious despite racing wide.
Ridden by John Velazquez, the promising sophomore won the seven-furlong event in a sharp 1:22 4/5.
Sovereign Default, the second choice, broke quickly along the railed and raced straight to the lead. However, he was unable to match strides with Crossbow, who took the lead entering the stretch and held it to the wire, winning the race by three quarters of a length.
Chateau D'Kim finished third after attempting to stay with the frontrunners. Motin finished fourth, and Gold For Cash trailed the field.
