Gone Astray filly is the biggest one at Parx

All it took for The Biggest One to gain her second victory was a change in riders, who employed a change in tactics.

Mychal Sanchez had guided the 3-year-old filly by Gone Astray to a second, third and fourth without grabbing an early lead in her three starts at Parx after she left Gulfstream Park. In start No. 4, new rider Gerardo Milan took The Biggest One out quickly from the No. 1 post and she sailed up on the inside to grab the front before the first quarter.

The Biggest One opened up daylight on the backstretch and increased the margin at every pole, then swung to mid-track in the stretch and left her nine rivals in the dust, reaching the finish line 7 1/4 lengths in front. She was clocked in 1:28.69 for the seven furlongs and paid $5.40 as favorite, while adding $12,000 to her bank account, raising it to $47,540.
