First Winner For Social Inclusion Comes At Gulfstream Park

Joseph Imbesi's Social Exclusion made an auspicious debut at Gulfstream Park Wednesday while scoring a dominating 4 3/4-length victory and becoming the first winning offspring of sire Social Inclusion.

Ridden by Emisael Jaramillo, the Steve Klesaris-trained 2-year-old filly ran five furlongs over a firm turf course in :56.60 seconds in the maiden special weight race.

Social Inclusion, a son of Pioneerof the Nile who finished third behind California Chrome in the 2014 Preakness Stakes, stood at Woodford Thoroughbreds near Ocala, Fla., for two seasons before moving to Diamond B Farm in Pennsylvania in 2019.

Trained by the late Manny Azpurua, Social Inclusion won the first two starts of his career in 2014 with ease at Gulfstream Park, including a 10-length romp in a 1 1/16-mile allowance, in which he set a track record of 1:40.97. He went on to finish third in the Grade 1 Wood Memorial and third in the Preakness in his next two starts. Social Inclusion retired after winning an allowance at Parx in 2015.

The Florida-bred Social Exclusion, who is Florida Sire Stakes-eligible, is out of the Tale of the Cat mare Genuine Treasure.

The top filly is out of the graded stakes placed Dixie Chatter mare Global Hottie, from the immediate family of Horse of the Year Alysheba.

Hip 451, a daughter of last year's leading first-crop sire American Pharoah, was the highest-priced filly of Tuesday's session. The dark bay or brown filly was purchased for $325,000 by Speedway Stable from the consignment of Kirkwood Stables, agent for Midway Gallop LLC (video). The New York-bred filly worked a quarter in :22-flat during last week's under tack show. Hip 451 is out of a half-sister to Grade 1 winner and stakes producer Awesome Humor and to Surf Club, dam of Grade 1 winner Emcee and Baffled, who produced current leading second-crop sire Constitution.
