Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 1 Journalists Share Posted January 1 Runner-up in the grassy Tepin Stakes when last seen at Aqueduct Nov. 17, Gatsas Stables' Five G ran away from her overmatched rivals to easily take out Wednesday's Fasig-Tipton Cash Run Stakes at Gulfstream Park. Let go at better than 5-1 returning to the main track for the first time since finishing unplaced behind the talented MSW 'TDN Rising Star' With the Angels (Omaha Beach) at Saratoga last summer, the homebred filly bounced away well enough from the inside gate beneath John Velazquez and railed through to contest the early splits just underneath Andrea (Thousand Words) into the turn. Edging to the front under her own courage with three furlongs to travel, she was pushed along to widen into the lane and pulled readily clear to take it by nine convincing lengths. Five G is the sixth black-type winner for her sire, who proved narrowly best in a three-way go for champion freshman sire of 2024. Gatsas Stable acquired this filly's dam for $57,000 in foal to Runhappy at Keeneland November in 2020. Triumphant is a half-sister to three-time stakes winner Lipstick City (City Zip), while third dam Gold Canyon produced MGSW Adriano (A.P. Indy) and the graded-placed dam of 'TDN Rising Star' Strike Power (Speightstown), who won this track's GIII Swale Stakes in 2018. Triumphant is the dam of a yearling full-brother to Five G and is due to give birth to a Central Banker foal this year. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
