Sister Troienne Extends Five-Race Win Streak in Sweetest Chant G3 at Gulfstream

Sister Troienne continued an upward arc at Gulfstream Park, posting a five-race win streak with a dominant score in the Sweetest Chant Stakes. The 3-year-old Munnings filly covered 1 1/16 miles in 1:40.76 over the turf and drew off by 2 3/4 lengths under Mario Gutierrez for trainer Brian A. Lynch and owner Woodslane Racing LLC.

Rated off the pace set by longshot Day to Day, which carved out fractions of :23.33 and :47.56, Sister Troienne cruised alongside that pacesetter approaching the turn and then widened in the lane to finish strongly. The chart shows she carried 122 pounds, and the victory bumped her lifetime record to 6 starts: 5 wins, 0 seconds, 1 third with earnings of $388,859. Spicy Princess finished second and Brat Pack took third in the 10-horse field; Spicy Princess earned $28,500, while TDN’s chart lists $88,350 to the winner.

Sister Troienne’s sequence of development is telling. After a third-place debut on a main track at Ellis Park, she broke her maiden by 4 1/2 lengths at Churchill Downs, added an allowance victory at Keeneland on Oct. 22, and shipped to Gulfstream for a three-length score in the Wait A While Stakes on the synthetic surface on Nov. 27. She then captured the Ginger Brew Stakes on Jan. 3 before Friday’s Sweetest Chant, giving her three straight stakes wins and five consecutive victories overall. The filly was RNA for $190,000 as a yearling at Keeneland, a purchase nugget that underscores her rising stock.

Trainer Brian Lynch framed the performance as part of an ongoing maturation. “Very impressive and finished up in a strong time, too,” Lynch said, adding, “When they turned down the backside she looked a winner every jump of the race. Honestly, I think she’s just getting better at racing. She’s got such a big, efficient stride, and when you ask her for run she just finds more. It will be interesting to see if she ever gets tested.” The win also added to Lynch’s hot Championship Meet at Gulfstream; he now has seven stakes wins at the meet, five of them with Gutierrez.

Purse reporting contains a discrepancy among outlets. Paulick and several social posts list the Sweetest Chant at $175,000, and the payout figures align with that total, while a TDN race-header line includes $150,000. The winner’s share is listed as $88,350 in the chart line. Pari-mutuel returns showed Sister Troienne as a short-priced favorite, with a $3.00 win return reported.

Beyond the ledger, Sister Troienne’s versatility across surfaces and quick progression from maiden winner to multiple-stakes scorer gives connections options as the 3-year-old campaign unfolds. With a big, efficient stride and Gutierrez aboard, she has the profile to step into tougher company if connections elect to test her at longer distances or in richer stakes, making her a filly to monitor through the Florida spring meet and beyond.
