Albany, CA (August 26, 2023) – The Stanford runners continue to show they can win over multiple surfaces. The latest example is 4-year-old Buttonwood Tree, who won over a third surface in the 7th race at Golden Gate Fields, a one mile allowance over the firm turf course.

Buttonwood Tree already owned victories on synthetic and dirt when he made his turf debut last time out with a second place finish at Santa Rosa. Coming back in similar company, the chestnut gelding was away well from post four and found a galloping position behind a lively pace scenario. He closed around the turn and a battle to the wire ensued. One of the pace duelers would not surrender and other closers were coming. Buttonwood Tree fought every stride and earned this hard fought victory by a nose.
