It was a battle late in the Martha Washington Stakes, and Search Party (Gun Runner) came out on top to win the Oaklawn filly feature, taking home Kentucky Oaks points for her effort.

In no hurry early as the loose leader posted fractions of :23.10 and a half in :47.83, it was left to Search Party to continue Mark Casse's big day when 3-5 favorite, and stablemate, Counting Stars (Honor A.P.) faded to the back of the pack as they came off the bend. Closing stoutly from the overland route with Newtown Pike (McKinzie) challenging her, she gamely kept that one at bay to win in a photo.

Search Party was last seen breaking her maiden Dec. 27 at this venue by six lengths.

The 3YO filly had a ground saving trip before fighting her way to the front under @cristiantorr64 for trainer @markecasse!
