After being sent down at 5-1, Fortuna Mia (f, 2, Vekoma–Windy Lane, by Cairo Prince) promptly joined up with Run Camila Run (West Coast) to her inside. Before Fortuna Mia took the lead, the top pair went onto the field and completed the first quarter in :22.45. Run Camila Run attempted to re-engage by ducking to the outside, but the winner had already passed her and had crossed the finish line four lengths ahead.
The winner's opponent objected, but the stewards took no action, and Fortuna Mia became the first winner for her freshman sire. Fortuna Mia, the first foal out of GSW Fioretti (Bernardini)'s half-sister, has MGISW/$4.2m FTKNOV broodmare Bast (Uncle Mo) and GISW/$1.2m FTKNOV broodmare purchase Fault (Blame) as extended family.
Windy Lane was bred to Upstart for 2024 and has a yearling colt by Blame. With a record of 8-6-0-1 and earnings of $1,245,525 Vekoma, who stands at Spendthrift Farm for $15,000, concluded his career on a three-race winning run, winning the GI Runhappy Carter H. at Belmont and the Sir Shackleton S. at Gulfstream. Vekoma then retired following a victory in the GI Runhappy Metropolitan H. Record for Lifetime: 1-1-0-0, $19,200.
