OXFORD COMMA overtook heavily favored BLUE BAHIA inside the furlong pole en route to capturing the $110,000 Claiming Crown Distaff Dash (race 5) under Miguel Vasquez. Tom Amoss, a winner of more than 3,500 races in his training career, was in from Kentucky for the victory and said it was his first win ever at Gulfstream.

The second choice in a field of 9, Oxford Comma returned $4.80 after finishing 5 furlongs in 55.69 seconds. UNAQUOI, a 70-1 shot, was along late to get second from Blue Bahia. The full order was 8-7-3-5-9.

Blue Bahia, making her first start in nearly 5 months, appeared to have control of the race, but she had no response when Oxford Comma moved alongside to challenge in mid-stretch. 

One race earlier, APPEALING FUTURE ($7.80) got a well-gauged ride from Nik Juarez, overtaking a tired HARRYHEE after turning for home and holding off a belated bid from 11-1 shot BROTHER CHUB in capturing the $110,000 Claiming Crown Express (race 4). The winner, trained by John Servis of Smarty Jones fame, was a slight favorite in a full gate of 14 when finishing 6 furlongs in 1:12.16 over a fast main track. The full order was 2-9-1-6-7.
