Live racing will move to Gulfstream Park West for the Fall Festival meeting Oct. 3 and run from Oct. 3 through Nov. 28.

Stonehedge LLC's Breeze On By is scheduled to make a bid to sweep the Florida Sire Stakes series in the In Reality. The son of Cajun Breeze captured the $100,000 FSS Dr. Fager Aug. 1 and the $200,000 Affirmed Aug. 29. The undefeated Ralph Nicks trainee, who captured his July 12 debut, will seek to become the fifth horse to sweep the FSS open division, joining Three Rules (2016), Sir Oscar (2003), Seacliff (1995) and Smile (1984).

Trainer Ralph Nicks saddled the first three finishers in the Affirmed with Big Daddy Dave and Seazan following their stablemate Breeze on By to the finish line.

Trainer Daniel Pita's Princess Secret, who scored by three-quarters of a length in the $200,000 FSS Susan's Girl, and Stonehedge LLC's Go Jo Jo Go, a 1 ¼-length winner over Princess Secret in the $100,000 FSS Desert Vixen for trainer Michael Yates, are expected to clash again in the My Dear Girl.
