Mr. d’Angelo won his career debut in April but was shut out in his next five races. Until Saturday at Laurel Park that is, when he finished fast in the $127,500 Maryland Million Turf to score going away by 1 3/4 lengths. Owned and bred by Kevin Morgan and based with Tim Woolley, Mr. d’Angelo is a 3-year-old gelding by the stout German-bred Seville. At 17-1, he led home a parade of longshots in the 1 1/8-mile turf race as 30-1 Somekindofmagician finished second, followed by 21-1 Pretty Good Year. The $2 exacta paid $1,146.80 and the $1 trifecta returned $4,323.30. Mr. d’Angelo lagged back in 12th position early, then came running on the 14-horse field under jockey Jevian Toledo. “I just sat behind hoping the speed would come back,” Toledo said. “Coming into the stretch, I thought I had a chance to hit the board but not to win. I hit him once, and he took off.” Woolley also was surprised by the outcome. “Honestly, I didn’t think we had a shot but I really wanted to get the owner to this race,” he said. “This horse has a lot of heart and he’s very game. He just needs the right trip.” Mr. d’Angelo paid $36.60 and was timed in 1:36.88. Ladies: Zonda turns back Mysistersledge Zonda tracked the rank pacesetter Something Magical through slow fractions in the $125,000 Maryland Million Ladies under jockey Victor Carrasco, took over on the far turn, and then had plenty left in the stretch to hold off the two favorites, Mysistersledge and Ghoul’s Night Out. She won the 1 1/8-mile turf race by 1 1/2 lengths. “I just stayed as close as possible and then turned her loose,” Carrasco said. Trained by Chuck Lawrence and owned by Matt Schera, Zonda was dropping in class and cutting back in distance out of the Bald Eagle Derby, where she faced males. She is now 4 for 8 in her career. Zonda is a 3-year-old daughter of Scat Daddy. Schera purchased her for $155,000 at the 2017 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling sale. “This is a special win,” Lawrence said. “Matt and I picked her out together at the sale.” Zonda, who drew in off the also-eligible list, paid $13.20 in the eight-horse field. She was timed over firm ground in 1:50.46. Mysistersledge, who held second by a nose over Ghoul’s Night Out, was trying for her third straight win in the Ladies. She was shuffled back to last early behind slow splits of 24.72 and 49.85, made a wide middle move to contention nearing the far turn, but lacked the needed punch in the stretch. Lassie: Hello Beautiful clearly best Hello Beautiful prompted the early pace after breaking from post 12 and then pulled away to win the $101,960 Maryland Million Lassie by 3 3/4 lengths. Trained by Brittany Russell and ridden by her husband, Sheldon Russell, Hello Beautiful was originally owned by Brittany Russell and Dark Horse Racing but was sold to Madaket Stables and partners following a 5 1/2-length maiden win at Laurel Park in late July. In her first start for her new connections, Hello Beautiful finished a close second in a Laurel optional-claiming race. Hello Beautiful prompted 13-1 Halfinthewrapper from the outside before striding away down the lane. She paid $5.40 as the favorite in the 12-horse field and was timed for six furlongs in 1:10.33. Stickingtogether, the 2-1 second choice, rallied to finish second, 2 3/4 lengths ahead of 97-1 Worstbestideaever in third. Gifted Heart, 3-1, made a middle move toward the leaders but then flattened out in the stretch and finished seventh. * Port Louis pulled off a stunner in the $51,020 Maryland Million Starter Handicap at seven furlongs, paying $137. Forwardly placed throughout in the field of 13 going seven furlongs, Port Louis outfinished 3-1 Sparty by 1 1/2 lengths. The win was Port Louis’s fourth from 24 starts. He was claimed for $5,000 two starts ago by trainer C. Robert Haynes. Avery Whisman was aboard Saturday. The Starter Handicap was the fifth race on the card and the final leg of the early pick five. The lone 50-cent winning pick five ticket paid $50,455. Rol Again Question was scratched at the gate as the 5-2 favorite. * Bowsprint finished with a late run in race 4 to score a $31.60 upset in the $61,200 Maryland Million Turf Starter Handicap by a neck under jockey Alex Cintron. The win broke a seven-race losing streak dating back to 2018 for the 5-year-old, who is trained by Milan Milosevic.
