Lori's Store comes running to take the Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Turf Stakes.

Lori's Store passed Unbridled Courage in the stretch and held off all challengers to win the $150,000 Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Turf Stakes Jan 16 at Gulfstream Park.

Miller Racing's Lori's Store picked up the most lucrative stakes win of her career and keyed the exacta for trainer Marty Wolfson, who watched E B Ryder rally for second in the 1 1/16-mile turf race for Florida-bred fillies and mares. Lori's Store finished in 1:45.93.

Bred in Florida by Glen Hill Farm, Lori's Store is a 6-year-old daughter of El Prado—Big Promise, by Rahy. Favored Lori's Store paid $4 to win.

The Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Turf is the first of six stakes for Florida-breds on today's Sunshine Millions card.
