Enterprising rallied from fifth on the far turn and took command in the stretch before pulling away to win the Millions Turf Preview Stakes by just over a length at Gulfstream Park West.
It was the fifth Stakes victory for the five-year-old gelding by Elusive Quality, who has previously notched victories in the G3 La Jolla Stakes and the Listed Eddie Logan Stakes.
