Trainer Steve Dwoskin's Choose Joy, a multiple-stakes winner carrying highweight of 125 pounds, rallied from off the pace to score yet another thoroughly professional victory in Sunday's $60,000 Village of Biscayne Park Handicap at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
The burgeoning turf-sprint star, who conceded between eight and 11 pounds to her five rivals, is a nose and a neck away from being undefeated in her six starts on turf following her length victory in Sunday's five-furlong overnight handicap for fillies and mares.
“She's a late-bloomer,” Dwoskin said. “She's been a different horse since getting on the turf.”
Choose Joy rated off a swift early pace set by Cat's Astray, who set fractions of :21.87 and :43.98 for a half-mile, before staging a three-wide rally into the stretch and drawing clear under Miguel Vasquez.
The 4-year-old daughter of Munnings ran five furlongs on a firm turf in :55.65. Hey High Pockets closed with a rush to finish second, a neck ahead of a tiring Cat's Astray.
