Fasig-Tipton Catalogues 184 Entries for Gulfstream Sale

Fasig-Tipton has catalogued 184 entries for The Gulfstream Sale of Selected 2-Year-Olds in Training, to be held Wednesday, Mar. 31, in the racetrack's walking ring. The sale will begin at 2 p.m. The under tack show is scheduled for Monday, Mar. 29, beginning at 9 a.m. Fasig-Tipton was forced to cancel last year's Gulfstream Sale due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“We are excited to be returning to Gulfstream Park in March to conduct the nation's premier 2-year-olds in training sale,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “The Gulfstream Sale annually provides an unrivaled concentration of quality, and this year's catalogue is loaded. In a short period of time, Gulfstream grads have won 13 different Grade I races, including the Kentucky Derby, Breeders' Cup Juvenile, Met Mile, and the Florida Derby twice. If you want to play at the top of the game, this sale–and its dirt racetrack–will get you there.”

The catalogue may now be viewed online and will also be available via the Equineline sales catalogue app. Print catalogues will be available from Fasig-Tipton offices in late February. Fasig-Tipton will also offer a supplemental catalogue once again this year. Supplemental entries will be accepted on an approval basis.

Gulfstream Park: Wednesday’s Rainbow 6 To Have $250,000 Guaranteed Jackpot

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $250,000 Wednesday at Gulfstream Park.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved Sunday following Saturday's mandatory payout. Multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $680.90 Sunday.

The jackpot pool is only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

Eres Tu Among Nominations for Saturday's G3 Royal Delta
Edward Seltzer and Beverly Anderson's Eres Tu is expected to seek her fourth-straight victory in Saturday's $100,000 Royal Delta (G3) at Gulfstream Park.

The Arnaud Delacour-trained daughter of Malibu Moon is prominent on the list of nominations for the Royal Delta, a 1 1/16-mile stakes for older fillies and mares. The 5-year-old Kentucky-bred mare, who was 3-for-3 last year, is coming off a victory in the Allaire DuPont (G3) at Laurel Park Dec. 26.

Allen Stable Inc.'s Mrs. Danvers, who captured the Nov. 27 Comely (G3) in her last start, was also nominated and is expected to start in the Royal Delta for Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey.

Eclipse champion Monomoy Girl was nominated to the Royal Delta but is not scheduled to start.

WHO'S HOT: Defending Two-time Championship Meet titlist Irad Ortiz enjoyed yet another multi-win afternoon Sunday, scoring a natural grand slam aboard Lontano ($5.40) in Race 5, Bold Agenda ($3.80) in Race 6, I Kickn ($3.40) in Race 7, and Come Storming ($5.20) in Race 8..

‘I’m Ready To Go’: Castellano Returns To The Saddle On Wednesday At Gulfstream Park

Out of action since having leg surgery in mid-November, Hall of Fame jockey Javier Castellano is set to launch his comeback Wednesday, Feb. 17, at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

Castellano, 43, is named aboard Jacks or Better Farm's 3-year-old homebred Sexy Dream, a half-sister to multiple graded-stakes winning millionaire Jackson Bend, in Race 9, a starter/optional claimer for 3-year-old fillies going one mile on the grass.

Trained by Ralph Nicks, Sexy Dream will break from Post 10 in a field of 11. Castellano is represented by agent John Panagot.

“I'm really excited and looking forward to it,” Castellano said. “It's the first time that I've been off for so long, three months, but I'm ready to go. I feel 100 percent and I'm ready to get back to work.”

Castellano won a record five consecutive Championship Meet riding titles at Gulfstream from 2011-'12 through 2015-'16. During that time, he was voted the Eclipse Award as champion jockey four times, from 2013-'16.

“I'm very excited, especially to be at Gulfstream Park. It's a special place for me,” Castellano said. “It's my home and I love it. That's where I first started, in South Florida, to ride horses and hopefully I can get some good mounts and start getting some momentum.”

A winner of 5,328 races and more than $354 million in purse earnings, Castellano had arthroscopic surgery to clean up some debris in his right leg, near the hip, Nov. 16 in New York. He went through physical therapy and returned to Florida earlier this month to start getting on horses.

“I was able to get on some horses and then I had to stop to follow the protocol with the quarantine and everything,” he said. “But I feel good and ready and ready to go back to work.”

Castellano is named on two horses Thursday, Feb. 18 – Let's Go Stable's 3-year-old filly Deemed Essential in a maiden special weight for meet-leading trainer Todd Pletcher and Madaket Stables, Kent Spellman and Team Hanley's All Come True, a 4-year-old filly trained by Graham Motion.

“I can't wait,” Castellano said. “I am thankful for all the support from the trainers and owners.”

Gulfstream Park: Over $5.8 Million Wagered On Rainbow 6 On Mandatory Payout Day

There were multiple winning tickets in Saturday's mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 at Gulfstream Park with each ticket worth $17,215.86.

There was a carryover pool of $1,048,970.38 in the Rainbow 6, and $5,831,816 of new money wagered into the pool Saturday.

The sequence started off with a bang when 30-1 longshot Boreas won Gulfstream's seventh race, a maiden special weight event on a mile turf course and returned $62.80.

The jackpot pool is usually only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool. However, on mandatory payout days the whole pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors holding tickets with the most winners in the six-race sequence.

There will be a guaranteed pool of $200,000 in Sunday's Rainbow 6, which includes three turf races. The sequence begins with the sixth race, a maiden special event at a mile for 4-year-olds and up. Bold Agenda, a son of Candy Ride from the Todd Pletcher stable, is 9-5 in the morning-line off a third-place finish here Jan. 15 at a mile. Winter Pool, a son of Curlin, debuts for the barn of Chad Brown and is 5-2.

The 10th race, an optional allowance claimer at 1 1/16 mile on the turf, is a wide-open affair with a dozen fillies and mares. The Brown barn sends out Linny Kate, a daughter of Tonalist making her first start in eight months. Brendan Walsh sends out two including Godolphin LLC's Lake Lucerne, making her U.S. debut. The final leg of the sequence is a maiden special weight event for 3-year-old fillies on the turf at 1 1/16 mile. It's another competitive event with debut runners from the barns of Shug McGaughey, Christophe Clement and Brown, and 4-1 favorite Champagne Ivy for trainer Saffie Joseph Jr., and A Thing of Beauty for Pletcher.

NOTES: Calumet Farm's Flying Scotsman went gate-to-wire to win Saturday's 10th race, a $53,000 allowance optional claimer. A 5-year-old son of English Channel entering the race off a fifth-place finish in the Tropical Turf (G3), Flying Scotsman and Corey Lanerie covered the mile turf course in 1:32.83 and returned $33.60. Structor, making his first start since winning the 2019 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1), finished in a dead heat for fourth.
