Gulfstream

7th-Gulfstream, $75,000, Msw, 1-8, 3yo, f, 5 1/2f (AWT), 1:03.62, ft, 5 3/4 lengths. CLOE (f, 3, Tiz the Law--Nuhood, by Smart Strike), given a 4-1 chance in this debut, broke running and was soon headed by the rail-running Armande (Candy Ride {Arg}) through an opening quarter in :22.86. Head and head with that rival approaching the home turn, Cloe inched clear straightening for home and exploded late to win by an easy 5 3/4-length margin over firster My Anticipation (Maclean's Music). Favored Mischief in Motion (Into Mischief) never got...

9th-GP, $94K, Msw, 4yo/up, f, 7f (AWT), 4:34 p.m. ET The impeccably-bred RUMOURS HAVE IT (Tapit) gets another shot to get off the mark following a 3/4-length defeat in her Nov. 22 debut at the Halladale oval. In front in the stretch that day, the daughter of dual champion Songbird (Medaglia d'Oro) was caught late by West Loop (Munnings) and had to play the bridesmaid. Trained by Todd Pletcher, the Whisper Hill Farm homebred is the third foal out of Songbird, who realized $9.5 million at Fasig-Tipton November after her...

1/ST Racing's Gulfstream Park and the Florida Horsemen's Benevolent & Protective Association (FHBA) have reached an agreement to support changes to Chapter 550 of the existing State Legislation--decoupling regulations--that will enable Gulfstream Park's live racing schedule to become independent of the venue's parimutuel license, it was announced by 1/ST Racing Monday. The basis for the agreement, "unique and designed to address the needs of Florida and consistent with similar gaming entities in the region," said 1/ST, "allows 1/ST to pursue necessary opportunities for development at Gulfstream Park. The agreement ensures...

5th-Gulfstream, $70,000, Msw, 1-5, 3yo, f, 1mT, 1:35.30, fm, 1 1/4 lengths. SOL D'ORO (f, 3, Bolt d'Oro--Peru {GB} {MSP, $376,735}, by Motivator {GB}) was a well-intended first-time starter here as the 7-2 favorite. Drawn against the rail, she took up shortly after the start to have only 'Insight' runner Just Silvia (Justify) behind her into the backstretch. Angled off the fence past the half in :47.32, she fanned out across the top of the lane with intent and pushed past Table Flirt (Constitution) in the final sixteenth to graduate...

The formal kick to the Florida series saw Guns Loaded (Gun Runner) hit his mark in the nick of time to take home the 14th rendition of the Mucho Macho Man Stakes at Gulfstream Park on Saturday. As a juvenile, the colt debuted as the runner-up last August at Saratoga, but he donned cap and gown 2 1/2 months later with an eye-catching performance under the Twin Spires. For his efforts, he was administered the oath as the latest 'TDN Rising Star' in town. Sent to trainer Jose D'Angelo's southern...

1st-Gulfstream, $75,000, Msw, 1-4, 3yo, 1mT, 1:34.83, fm, 1/2 length. SOUPER TIMES (c, 3, Not This Time--Royale Paradise, by Unbridled's Song), a first-time starter debuting around two turns, broke widest of the 10-horse field but shifted down to be just two wide into the first turn while racing mid pack. Never far off the front and enjoying a clean trip past the half in :47.53, the 8-1 shot began to come under a drive while fanning out six across the top of the stretch as the group began to chip...

7th-SA, 61K, O/C, 4yo/up, 1m, 5:36 p.m. 'TDN Rising Star' EAGLES FLIGHT (Curlin), the 4-year-old half-brother to Horse of the Year Flightline (Tapit), returns to action Saturday off a lengthy layoff. Debuted in a six-furlong maiden special weight event at Santa Anita May 27, the John Sadler trainee earned his 'Rising Star' stamp with a 2 3/4-length come-from-behind win which garnered an 89 Beyer Speed Figure. Unraced since that unveiling, Eagles Flight was mentioned as a possible runner for opening weekend's GI Malibu Stakes but was never officially entered there....

Jockey Jorge Ruiz, who fell shortly after the start of the first race at Gulfstream Park Saturday, was released from Aventura Hospital Saturday night after receiving stitches above his left eye. Ruiz, a 39-year-old native of Argentina, was hurt after being thrown to the turf course when his mount, 3-year-old filly Roscoe Village (Kantharos), stumbled and fell shortly after the start of Saturday's opener. Roscoe Village was uninjured. The track safety siren and lights were activated as Ruiz was being helped off track, causing several riders to pull up and...

Billed as a showdown between the classy Mufasa (Chi) (Practical Joke) and the 2023 GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner White Abarrio (Race Day), Gulfstream Park's Saturday feature, the GIII Mr. Prospector Stakes at seven furlongs, didn't disappoint. Mufasa got a perfect stalking trip which turned into a resounding win, while White Abarrio was slow out of the gate and trailed early before making a late run that couldn't quite catch Mufasa in the stretch. Little Vic (Practical Joke), the 2023 GIII Tom Fool Handicap winner, was third. Winner of the...

7th-Gulfstream, $40,000, Msw, 12-28, 2yo, 1 1/16m, 1:44.31, ft, 9 lengths. BURNHAM SQUARE (g, 2, Liam's Map--Linda {GSW, $407,310}, by Scat Daddy) was just a half-length short in a $150,000 maiden claimer at Keeneland Oct. 26 and was again narrowly beaten when stepping into maiden special weight company at Churchill going this distance Nov. 30. Adding the blinkers Saturday, the 6-5 favorite was kept right up on the pace early, surged forward to handle the tempo up the backstretch and was much the class of this field as he led...

Graded-stakes winning stablemates Locked (Gun Runner) and Crupi (Curlin) have been confirmed to make their 2025 debuts in the Jan. 25 GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational at Gulfstream, according to trainer Todd Pletcher Sunday. Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Walmac Farm's Locked raced four times as a 2-year-old, including a win the GI Breeders' Futurity and a third to champion stablemate Fierceness in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile but was knocked off the Triple Crown trail earlier this year with a knee injury. The TDN Rising Star made his return with...

6th-Gulfstream, $40,000, Msw, 12-13, 2yo, f, 1m, 1:41.21, ft, 1 1/4 lengths. RUTH (f, 2, Uncle Mo--Peppy Rafaela, by Bernardini), bet down to 3-5 favoritism for Todd Pletcher and owner/breeder Frank Batten, was a close-up third behind early pacesetter Queen in the Deck (Cairo Prince) through the opening quarter in :24.81. Fanned out widest of the group around the far turn and relegated back several slots, Ruth responded in kind to urging from jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr. and found a high gear coming to the line, powering past the leader...
