It’s a Bird rallied from the off the pace to win Saturday’s $1 million Sunshine Millions Classic at Gulfstream Park, helping Florida-bred horses easily defeat their California counterparts for the seventh straight time in the bicoastal Sunshine Millions program.

The eight races worth $3.6 million came off under drastically different conditions.

Santa Anita’s weather didn’t live up to the event’s name. Fog obscured the San Gabriel Mountains most of the day and rain kept the infield attendance sparse. Skies were sunny at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale, Fla.

It’s a Bird led a 1-2-3 Florida sweep in the Classic — one of four Florida sweeps Saturday — to win the day’s richest race by 5 1/4 lengths.

Ridden by Julien Leparoux, It’s a Bird covered 1 1-8 miles in 1:49.35 and ended a three-race losing streak for trainer Marty Wolfson.
