Closing out the race card on Saturday was the $70,000 Unzip Me Stakes for 3-year-old fillies sprinting 6 1/2 furlongs on the downhill turf. Byrama was sent off as the 5-2 favorite in the field of 12 over 3-1 Starry Skies and 7-1 Killer Graces.

Jockey Edwin Maldonado sent 20-1 Coup de Coeur to the lead immediately and she set fractions of 21.28 and 43.19 while stalked by 8-1 Madoffwiththemoney. In the stretch, 11-1 Charm the Maker charged to the lead from 9th, but Byrama, 7th early, closed on the far outside to win by 1/2 length in 1:12.53. It was another 1/2 length back to Starry Skies third. The win gave jockey Rafael Bejarano his fourth stakes win on the afternoon.
