TRIP FOR A.J. WINS THE SUNSHINE MILLIONS FILLY & MARE TURF!

Under John Velazquez, Trip For A.J. took the lead at the top of the stretch and held off all challengers to win the Sunshine Millions' Filly & Mare Turf.

The early pace was set by 99-1 shot Becky's Exchange and Speak Easy Gal. Favored Dynaslew was sitting in third, with Trip For A.J. not far behind her.

Dynaslew faded as the field turned for home. Trip For A.J. then took the lead and held off Askbut I Won'ttell in a dramatic finish. Askbut I Won'ttell, the second choice, rallied on the far outside while drifting through the stretch but just missed catching the winner.

Scolera finished third, followed by Romin Robin.
