Sister Troienne Extends Win Streak in Ginger Brew

In the kickoff of stakes action Jan. 3 at Gulfstream Park, Sister Troienne  easily dispatched five other 3-year-old fillies to post a comfortable victory in the $157,500 Ginger Brew Stakes.

Confidently handled by Mario Gutierrez, Sister Troienne chased front-running Laigina  through splits of :24 and :47.87 in the mile turf race before dialing up the pressure on the leader late on the backstretch and into the second turn. The winner took over with 6 furlongs in 1:10.16 before opening up in midstretch and maintaining a 1 3/4-length advantage at the finish. She was clocked in 1:33.42 over a firm course.

Laigina held second ahead of a belated show rally from Storm's Wake .

Backed to odds-on favoritism following the key scratch of Spirit Doll , the second favorite on the morning line, Sister Troienne returned $2.60 for a $2 win wager. The Ginger Brew marked her fourth straight victory and second at the stakes level. Those victories followed a third-place finish in her debut on dirt at Ellis Park over the summer.

The 3-year-old homebred daughter of Munnings   out of the stakes-placed Lemon Drop Kid mare Dyna Passer  races for Rene Woolcott's Woodslane Racing and is trained by Brian Lynch. Woodslane Racing campaigned her after she fell short of reaching her reserve when bidding stalled at $190,000 during the 2024 Keeneland September Yearling Sale.

Munnings, the 12th-leading sire in North America by progeny earnings in 2025, will stand this upcoming breeding season for $45,000 at Ashford Stud in Kentucky.
