Gulfstream Park has an eight-race program today with
first post of 12:55 p.m.
Conditions are listed as fast and firm. According to the Weather Channel there is only a ten percent chance
of rain this afternoon in and around Hallandale Beach where Gulfstream is located.
The feature seventh race is a $62,500
allowance/optional claimer at five furlongs on turf for fillies and mares
3-years-old and up. The purse is
$44,000.
Spanish Concert, trained by Kathleen O’Connell, is
among likely favorites in the six-horse field. Eduardo Nunez has the mount.
O’Connell has 1,799 career wins, and Spanish Concert
is her only horse entered at any track today as she attempts to reach 1,800. She has four horses entered tomorrow, all at Tampa Bay
Downs.
Our research, based on data from Equibase Co, and other
sources, indicates that O’Connell is second in all-time career wins among women trainers in North America.
Kim Hammond is first, with 2,084 wins through
Wednesday. She trains mostly in Indiana
and other midwestern states.
*There is a carryover of $137,213 today on the Rainbow

Mile (Grade 3) at that distance on turf for 3-year-olds and the $100,000 Powder
Break at one mile on turf for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up.
