Classy move by Ortiz gets Gone Astray his 3rd January winner

Credit Ocala jockey Jose Ortiz for getting Gone Astray his third winner this month.

She’s Classy was making a strong wide move from behind on the turn in the third race at Gulfstream Park yesterday, when Ortiz suddenly yanked her to the left and she split horses and out-gamed three rivals to the wire, winning by half a length. The 5-year-old mare bred by Craig L. Wheeler upped her record to 4-4-8 in 25 starts and the check for $14,800 lifted her earnings to $97,865.

She’s Classy, who has won three of her last six plus a second, paid $24.20 after racing 5 1/2 furlongs on the Tapeta surface in 1:03.15.
