Gulfstream Park: Castellano Back In Winner’s Circle; Rainbow 6 Jackpot Has $400,000 Guarantee

Hall of Famer Javier Castellano made a welcome return to the Gulfstream Park winner's circle Thursday, scoring for the first time since undergoing clean-up surgery on his right leg in November.

The four-time Eclipse Award winner, who captured five consecutive Championship Meet riding titles at the Hallandale Beach, Fla., track, (2011-12 through 2015-16), returned from a three-month layoff Feb. 17 and broke through with Una Luna ($10), his 14th mount back, in Thursday's Race 7.

“It's good to get this one out of the way and look to the future,” said the 43-year-old Castellano, who began his career in the U.S. in South Florida after venturing from Venezuela.

Una Luna settled well behind a hot early pace in the mile optional claiming allowance on turf before entering contention and becoming involved in a three-horse battle to the wire between horses. Una Luna prevailed by a neck but had to survive an inquiry before officially providing Castellano his first win of the year.

“It was a very competitive races – three horses going to the wire. I had a lot of pressure outside, but at the same time, I had to ride my horse. I couldn't stop on my horse. The inside horse was running out of gas and ended up in a bad spot. I tried to keep my horse straight, but I didn't get much help on the outside.”

The victory was No. 5,329 for the popular riding star, whose mounts have earned more than $350 million.

“I'm very happy to be here. It's my first win back. It's very exciting,” Castellano said. “I don't have the words to describe how happy I am.”

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the third straight racing day since a lucky bettor broke the jackpot for $712,824.06 Saturday. Multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $6,418.48 Thursday.

There will also be a Super Hi 5 carryover in Friday's first race of $6,008.44.

Trainer Peter Walder extended his winning streak to seven Wednesday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., after saddling High Heater ($15) for a front-running victory in Race 2, a seven-furlong sprint for $12,000 claimers.

“Everything is clicking. The right races are coming at the right time. Horses are just doing good,” Walder said. “The game is a rollercoaster. I'm a streaky trainer to begin with. I don't want to curse myself, but I might go 0-for-the-next month. I'll just enjoy it while it lasts.”

Walder saddled one winner from one starter last Wednesday and last Thursday before going 3-for-3 Friday and scoring with his only starter on Saturday.

Walder's streak of winning starters was also broken in Race 2 when stablemate Surf Shack finished second, a neck behind High Heater. However, the veteran trainer can extend a winning-races streak with Time to Two Step in Friday's Race 2.

Gaffalione, who won the Eclipse Award as the nation's leading apprentice while riding full time at Gulfstream in 2015, teamed with trainer Ralph Nicks for three victories on Wednesday's program.  They scored back-to-back victories with Shoug ($5.60) in Race 3 and Awesome Pudding ($28.60) in Race 4 before winning Race 6 with Dassult Mirage ($9).

“I've been so fortunate during my career. I've always gotten tremendous support from the owners and trainers. I owe a lot to my agent Matt Muzikar. These horses keep showing up,” Gaffalione said. “I'm just living the dream.”

Tyler also holds a share of the Gulfstream Park record for most wins on a card, becoming only the second jockey with seven winners July 4, 2017. Jerry Bailey (3/11/1996), Luis Saez (1/24/2018 and 3/29/2018) and Paco Lopez (3/11/2020) have also ridden seven winners in a day.
