Bonus Points ($25.40) rallies from far back to take Campbell

Bonus Points is stabled in New York with trainer Todd Pletcher but does his best running in his home state of Maryland. On Saturday at Laurel Park he rallied from far back to defeat 6-5 favorite Monongahela by a neck in the $100,000 John B. Campbell, a 1 1/8-mile stakes for 4-year-olds and up.

A 5-year-old son of Majestic Warrior, Bonus Points now has a 8-4-3-0 record at Laurel and is 16-2-2-4 elsewhere. The Campbell is his third career stakes victory. In 2017, he won the Parx Derby and the Maryland Million Classic.

Bonus Points raced close to Monongahela to the far turn. When Monongahela went between horses nearing the stretch, jockey Feargal Lynch swung Bonus Points outside horses. Bonus Points surged late for the victory.

It was a neck back from Monongahela to Unbridled Juan in third. Unbridled Juan seized the lead with a rail move entering the stretch, drew clear while wandering a bit, but was outfinished late.

Lynch, who is wintering at Tampa Bay Downs, is now 3 for 4 on Bonus Points, with the lone loss coming by a nose.

"We took back early," Lynch said. "I followed Trevor [McCarthy, aboard Monongahela] the whole way and he did his business in the end."

Bonus Points, who is owned by Three Diamonds Farm, paid $25.40 in the eight-horse field. He was timed in 1:48.93. The win pushed his earnings to $532,684.

Miracle Wood: Alwaysmining extends streak

Jockey Daniel Centeno put Alwaysmining on the lead in the $100,000 Miracle Wood Stakes, controlled the pace, and rolled home to win by 4 1/4 lengths without being seriously challenged in the one-mile race for 3-year-olds.

The win was the fourth in a row for Alwaysmining, who is owned by Gregory and Caroline Bentley and based at the Fair Hill Training Center with Kelly Rubley. In his two starts prior to the Miracle Wood, Alwaysmining won the restricted Maryland Juvenile Futurity and the open Heft Stakes.

Alwaysmining, a Maryland-bred son of Stay Thirsty, is now 5 for 10 in his career with earnings of $251,192. He is 4 for 6 since being privately purchased by the Bentleys.

Alwaysmining paid $3.40 in the six-horse field. He was timed in 1:35.27 following fractions of 24.23, 47.51, and 1:11.29.

"He made an easy lead and was able to take it all the way to the wire," Centeno said.

Tybalt rallied from far out in the track to take second by a nose over California shipper Gray Magician. It was a half-length back to Wendell Fong in fourth. Gray Magician and Wendell Fong tracked Alwaysmining to the stretch but lacked the needed response.

Wide Country: Las Setas leads throughout

Las Setas outsprinted several challengers for the early lead in the $100,000 Wide Country Stakes, and then widened her advantage in the stretch to score by 5 1/2 lengths.

A field of eight 3-year-old fillies went postward in the seven-furlong Wide Country. Las Setas was the fourth front-running winner from the first six races on the Laurel card. Her win was quite similar to Alwaysmining's in race 5.

Las Setas was making her third career start and coming off a Laurel maiden win. She set fractions of 23.20 and 46.15 while being stalked by Paynterbythenumbers and even-money favorite Our Super Freak. She covered six furlongs in 1:10.49 and completed the course in 1:22.99.

Trained by Katie Voss and owned and bred in Maryland by Voss and Robert Manfuso, Las Setas paid $20.60.

"She's shown a lot of ability," Voss said. "The timing and distance of this race was perfect for her."

Our Super Freak finished second, one length ahead of 16-1 Crafty's Dream in third.
