OCEANPORT, N.J. — Stonetastic rebounded from an uncharacteristic performance in her last race to score an easy victory in the $80,500 Regret Stakes at Monmouth Park on Saturday.

With Paco Lopez back aboard, Stonetastic outsprinted Bustin Out for the early lead, and then simply galloped off to 6-3/4-length win. The Monmouth strip was playing quick on Saturday — a New Jersey-bred maiden sprint winner went a quarter-mile in 21.90 seconds and a half in 44.79 – but Stonetastic effortlessly laid down fractions of 21.68, 43.69, and 55.64 en route to a final six-furlong clocking of 1:08.37.

Stonetastic paid $2.80 as a heavy favorite in the five-horse field. Bustin Out held on for second while finishing 3-1/4 lengths ahead of third-place Sky Gold.
