Edmund Gann’s It’s a Bird stalked the pace under Julien Leparoux, took over rounding the final turn and drew clear for a resounding, 5 1/4-length victory in the $1-million OBS Sunshine Millions Classic (VIDEO) Jan. 24 at Gulfstream Park.
A 6-year-old Florida-bred son of Birdonthewire, It’s a Bird won the 1 1/8-mile main track event in a final time of 1:49.35 and gave Florida a clean sweep over California in the four Sunshine Millions races run at Gulfstream. The dark bay horse earned $550,000 for the victory, which was his fourth in seven tries since Marty Wolfson took over training duties from Todd Pletcher last summer.
