Southwest Stakes
Silent Tactic overcame a last-place start to surge past the field and win the Grade 3 $1 million Southwest Stakes by 3 1/4 lengths at Oaklawn Park. The 12-1 longshot, ridden by Cristian Torres for trainer Mark Casse and owner John Oxley, earned 20 Kentucky Derby qualifying points in the 1 1/16-mile race for 3-year-olds. The victory marked Casse's third consecutive win in an Oaklawn Derby prep event.
