My Prankster wins the Swale Stakes at Gulfstream Park

On the penultimate day of the spring meet at Churchill Downs July 3, graded stakes winners My Prankster  and Gunite  battle in the $160,000 Maxfield Overnight Stakes against four other rivals. 

Robert and Lawana Low's three-time winner My Prankster, who captured the Swale Stakes (G3) in February at Gulfstream Park, has experience at Maxfield's seven-furlong distance.

Most recently, he ran third behind Jack Christopher  and Pappacap  in the Pat Day Mile Stakes Presented by LG&E and KU (G2) when last in action May 7 at Churchill Downs. The Todd Pletcher trainee, a son of Into Mischief  , is 3-1-1 in seven starts with earnings of $274,030.

My Prankster and Gunite met last fall with My Prankster finishing fourth and Gunite fifth in the Champagne Stakes (G1) at Belmont Park.

Gunite, a 3-year-old Gun Runner   colt owned and bred by Winchell Thoroughbreds, captured the Hopeful Stakes (G1) last summer at Saratoga Race Course before disappointing in the Champagne. He has a single start since for trainer Steve Asmussen, a runner-up finish in a quick allowance optional claiming race at Churchill June 3.

Tejano Twist , Overtaxed , Burninhunkoflove , and Hoist the Gold  complete the field. 

The Maxfield Stakes is the Sunday co-feature with the one-mile Anchorage Overnight Stakes, a race moved to dirt this week by Churchill Downs officials due to continued issues with the track's turf course. The five-horse lineup is led by The Mary Rose , Li'l Tootsie , and Will's Secret .
