Always Sunshine rallied to win the $150,000 Maryland Sprint, the first stakes race on the Preakness undercard.
The 4-year-old colt trained by Ned Allard sat third as Cinco Charlie set the pace. Always Sunshine and jockey Frankie Pennington took charge in mid-stretch, beating All Star Red by 2 1/2 lengths.
It was the second straight win-the fifth in 11 races overall-for Always Sunshine. He paid $5.80 to win.
Later on the card, Marengo Road pulled a 15-1 upset in the $100,000 James W. Murphy Stakes for 3-year-olds on a rain-soaked turf course listed as good.
The colt, trained by Michael Trombetta, was overlooked in wagering despite winning the Miracle Wood Stakes at Laurel.

Ten years after Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro broke down at the start of the Preakness, the owners of the ill-fated colt have had another horse die on a damp, rainy Saturday at Pimlico Race Course.
In a tragic start to Preakness day, two horses died and a jockey broke his collarbone in the first four races.
Pramedya broke down around the turn in the fourth race, tumbled to the turf as jockey Daniel Centeno was thrown to the ground. Pimlico racing officials said the 4-year-old filly owned by Roy and Gretchen Jackson's Lael Stables was euthanized on the track after breaking her left front cannon bone.
In 2006, Barbaro shattered bones in his right hind leg just after the start of the Preakness, survived surgery but developed laminitis and was euthanized in January, 2007.
Pramedya was bred and owned by the Jacksons.
Centeno was driven off in ambulance. Officials said he broke his right collarbone.

In the opening race, Homeboykris collapsed and died after his victory and having his picture taken in the winner's circle. Track officials believe the 9-year-old gelding suffered cardiovascular collapse.
The horse is being taken to New Bolton Center in Pennsylvania for an autopsy. It's the same animal hospital Barbaro was taken to after his injuries.
Homeboykris won the Champagne Stakes in 2009, and a year later finished 16th in the Kentucky Derby. He had just won his 14th race in 63 career starts.
Later Saturday, Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist takes on 10 rivals in the Preakness Stakes.
