GYPSY ROBIN WINS THE BEAUMONT STAKES!

Gypsy Robin went straight to the lead and never looked back in Keeneland's $150,000 Beaumont Stakes (gr. II), drawing away in the stretch to win by about three or four lengths.

Ridden to victory by Jeffrey Sanchez, Gypsy Robin got off to an excellent start and quickly sprinted clear of her rivals while setting a very slow pace of :24.15 and :49.10. Livi Makenzie was racing on the outside in second, about a length and a half behind the leader. Favored Sacristy was in the three path, followed by Piskacha along the rail. Born Bullish and Milania were the early trailers.

As the field turned for home, Sacristy made a three-wide bid for the lead, but Gypsy Robin had plenty left in the tank and quickly turned her back. From there, the race was over, as Gypsy Robin drew off with authority to win in decisive fashion, stopping the clock for seven furlongs in 1:28.46.

Sacristy finished second, while Livi Makenzie, Milania, Piskacha, and Born Bullish completed the order of finish. The winner, who is trained by Wesley Ward, has now won three of her five starts and earned $185,000.
