Short prices resulted in 863 winning tickets in Friday s Stronach 5 with each ticket worth $196.30.
The Stronach 5 featured races from Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita Park and Laurel Park as well as an industry-low 12-percent takeout and two stakes races.
The sequence started with Laurel s eighth race and Belle Tapisserie ($7) winning off the claim for trainer Kieron Magee. The $2.50-1 Belle Tapisserie turned out to be the largest-priced winner of the day.
The $75,000 Janus, run as Gulfstream s ninth race and the second leg of the sequence, was won by 4-5 favorite Imprimis ($3.60), coming off a horrible trip in the Breeders Cup Turf Sprint (G1) in which he was stopped and steadied down the stretch.
