Born: April 24, 1964 | Birthplace: East Liverpool, OH | Residence: Tampa, FL First Win: H.’s Shady Lady, Detroit Race Course, 1983 | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Gulfstream Park, Gulfstream Park West

The jockey nicknamed “Rock and Roll” had another fine season during the 2019-2020 Oldsmar meeting, riding 39 winners to finish seventh in the standings. As the 2020-2021 meeting approached, Allen had more than 3,800 career victories. Young Ronnie was a major force in the Tampa Bay Downs jockey colony in the 1980s. During the 2016-2017 Tampa Bay Downs season, Allen won the Turf Dash Stakes on trainer Gerald Bennett’s Fast Flying Rumor, who achieved a 108 Beyer Speed Figure in the 5-furlong fixture, the second-highest BSF in track history. A four-time Tampa Bay Downs riding champion (three before his 24th birthday), Allen achieved a career milestone in 2013 at Presque Isle when he posted victory No. 3,000 on Ghost Flower, a 3-year-old filly trained by his fiancée, Maria Bowersock. Allen has won more than 80 stakes, including the 1993 Tampa Bay Derby and Sam F. Davis Breeders’ Cup Stakes aboard Marco Bay. He rode Sport Jet in the 1985 Preakness. His brother Mike is also a jockey, and their father, Ronald Allen, Sr., saddled almost 1,500 winners over a 40-year career, winning the Grade II Alcibiades Stakes in 1994 with Post It. So it was especially rewarding in 2010-11 when he won his fourth Tampa Bay Downs riding title with 109 victories, 23 years after he was last on top. During the 2013-14 Oldsmar meeting, he rode 110 winners, second in the standings. In 2012-13 at Tampa Bay Downs, Allen finished third with 57 victories despite a late-season spill in which he suffered fractured ribs, a punctured lung, a lacerated liver and head abrasions. When he’s not in the irons, Ronnie plays golf or relaxes, relishing the peace that comes from knowing hard work and dedication to his craft are their own best rewards.

Born: May 27, 1988 | Birthplace: Caracas, Venezuela | Residence: Miami, FL First Win: Calder Race Course, 2012 | Started Riding: La Rinconada, Caracas | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Gulfstream Park, Gulfstream Park West

Camacho's profile rose dramatically when he piloted 49-1 shot King Guillermo to victory in the Grade II, $400,000 Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby on March 7. It was his second graded-stakes victory of the meeting, following his triumph on Admiralty Pier in the Grade III Tampa Bay Stakes. He finished third in the standings with 96 winners and was 10th at Gulfstream with 45 winners. On Jan. 26 of 2019, Camacho rode five winners at Tampa Bay Downs for the second time , and the momentum continued all the way to his first riding title with 123 victories. Camacho rode three stakes winners: Killybegs Captain in the Pelican, Silver Bay in the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association City of Ocala Florida Sire Stakes and Jackson in the Florida Cup Ocala Breeders’ Sales Sophomore. He then finished in a tie for seventh at Gulfstream Park in its April through June meeting with 25 victories despite getting a late start and was sixth in the July through September meeting with 39 winners. Camacho hails from a race-riding family. His father, Samuel Camacho, Sr., rode his entire career in Venezuela, scoring more than 900 victories. Younger brother Samuel Camacho, Jr., is also a jockey. Samy rode 32 winners in south Florida and at Monmouth in New Jersey as an apprentice in 2012 before returning to Venezuela for more seasoning. The results have been impressive; in 2015-2016 he won the Hampton Inn & Suites Jockey of the Month Award during a period when he was commuting to Tampa Bay Downs from a morning job exercising horses in Ocala. In 2016- 2017, he vaulted to sixth in the meeting standings with 47 victories. Camacho won the $5,000 Jockeys’ Challenge at Tampa Bay Downs during the two-day Summer Festival of Racing and Music in 2016 and 2017. In a riding colony dominated by grizzled veterans, Camacho has proved that he belongs among the track’s top tier.

Born: March 4, 1973 | Birthplace: Mexico City, Mexico | Residence: Shepherdsville, Ky. First Win: She Is the World, Agua Caliente, 1989 | Started Riding: Agua Caliente | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Churchill Downs, Indiana Grand

Castanon reached a career milestone in 2019 at Tampa Bay Downs, scoring victory No. 2,500 on Tearless on Jan. 6 for trainer Derek Ryan. Two months later, Castanon rode Higgins to victory for trainer David Flores, the first career conditioning victory for the former riding great. Castanon and Flores have been friends for more than 35 years. Castanon finished sixth in the 2019-2020 Tampa Bay Downs standings with 44 victories. He won back-to-back Oldsmar riding crowns in 2003-2004 and 2004-2005. Castanon is best-known for his masterful winning ride on the Dale Romans-trained Shackleford in the 2011 Preakness. The victory came about six months after his father, Jesus Castanon, Sr., succumbed to kidney disease. The elder Castanon, a former trainer, had given the green light to Jesus and his brothers, retired jockeys Antonio and Jose, to ride races. Castanon also rode Shackleford to victories in the Grade I Clark Handicap and the Grade II Churchill Downs Stakes. The Mexico City native’s return to the Oldsmar colony three seasons ago resulted in a seventh-place finish with 38 victories, including a score on long shot Tapa Tapa Tapa in the Suncoast Stakes for 3-year-old fillies. Castanon is married to Rolanda Simpson, a retired jockey. Jesus and Rolanda bred the filly Shackira Shackira, who is trained by Jose Castanon, Jesus’ brother. Shackira Shackira is a winning daughter of Shackleford, out of their Albert the Great mare Miss Dora. Castanon rode her in her first two victories, both at Indiana Grand.

34 Jockey Profiles Daniel Centeno

Born: December 18, 1971 | Birthplace: Caracas, Venezuela | Residence: Tampa, FL First Win: Big Jack, Venezuela, 1990 | Started Riding: 1990 (Venezuela), 2003 (Ohio) | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Delaware Park, Laurel Park, Pimlico

Centeno enjoyed another strong Oldsmar season, riding 99 winners to finish in second place. Included were stakes victories on Jehozacat in the Grade III Lambholm South Endeavour Stakes and the Wayward Lass and Lucrezia in the Suncoast and the Sandpiper. Centeno earned one of the biggest victories of his career on Oct. 3 aboard Miss Marissa in the Grade II George E. Mitchell Black-Eyed Susan Stakes at Pimlico. Centeno achieved a goal of most jockeys by earning a mount in the 2019 Preakness on Alwaysmining, a horse who won five consecutive stakes under his guidance. Centeno enters the 2020-2021 meeting with almost 3,000 victories in North America. By earning his sixth Tampa Bay Downs title in 2016-2017 with 102 winners, Centeno tied Mike Manganello for the most riding titles in track history. Centeno began race riding in 1990 in Venezuela, establishing a reputation for excellence and toughness over the next 13 years before heading to the United States (he had ridden briefly at Calder in Miami in 1996). First and foremost, Centeno is a student of the sport. His attention to detail — working horses each morning, studying past performances and watching replays — has kept him atop the Tampa Bay Downs jockey colony for much of the past 12 seasons. In 2014, Centeno won the Grade II Tampa Bay Derby for the second time, aboard Ring Weekend for trainer H. Graham Motion. Centeno had won the 2009 Tampa Bay Derby on Musket Man. Centeno was aboard Catalina Red when the then-2-year-old set the Tampa Bay Downs 7-furlong record of 1:21.40 (since bettered) in winning the 2014 Pasco Stakes. From 2006-10, Centeno strung together four consecutive TBD riding crowns while averaging 1.48 winners per performance. During the 2007-2008 meeting, he booted home a record-setting 144 winners (since bettered), including six stakes victories. That year he amassed $2,145,528 in purses, setting a track record. He won his fifth TBD riding title during the 2012-2013 meeting with 90 victories. Centeno cites fellow Venezuelan jockeys Eibar Coa and Ramon Dominguez as major influences. With his distinguished record and professional approach, Centeno himself is a jockey worth emulating.

35 Jockey Profiles Jose C. Ferrer

Born: March 31, 1964 | Birthplace: Santurce, Puerto Rico | Residence: Tampa, FL First Win: Meadowlands, 1983 | Started Riding: 1982, Monmouth Park | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Monmouth Park

Ferrer tied for 13th at Tampa Bay Downs last season with 26 victories, then rode 27 winners at Monmouth to finish sixth. He rode career winner No. 4,500 on Aug. 29 at Monmouth on Tracy Ann's Legacy. Ferrer’s career is laden with sterling achievements, but none as meaningful as receiving the 2018 George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award in voting by his fellow riders. The award is given to a rider whose career and personal character reflect positively on racing. The good times continued for Ferrer in 2018 at Monmouth Park, where he won the jockey title with 95 victories. He rode six winners on a single card in July of that season, a personal best and one shy of the New Jersey track record. Ferrer’s status for the 2017-2018 Oldsmar meeting had been thrown into doubt when he incurred a collapsed lung, eight broken ribs and three fractured vertebrae in a multi-horse spill at Delaware Park in September of 2017. A fitness enthusiast, he made plans to beat the doctor’s prognosis of 4-to-6 months of inactivity, returning to action Dec. 1. He won a few days later with his third mount back, the filly Jermyn Street, for trainer Keith Nations and finished sixth for the season with 37 winners. The Feb. 14, 2016 card at Tampa Bay Downs was one to remember for Ferrer. He captured back-to-back races, with the second victory, aboard Rocket Bottle for owner-trainer Robert G. Smith, No. 4,000 in the rider’s illustrious career. The entire jockey colony, family and friends descended on the winner’s circle to congratulate the popular veteran, who has built an enviable record since arriving on the scene in 1982. Ferrer has 26 graded-stakes victories, none bigger than the Grade I Spinaway Stakes at Saratoga in 2000 on Stormy Pick. The victory aboard the Ben Perkins, Jr.-trained 2-year-old filly came a week after Ferrer had won the Grade II, $350,000 Iselin Handicap at Monmouth on Rize. Ferrer prides himself on staying in top condition, secure that his exercise regimen helps him successfully compete against jockeys half his age. Ferrer began his U.S. riding career at Monmouth Park. Soon, he became the first jockey to win five races on a single card at Meadowlands. Ferrer was the leading jockey in 2015 at the month-long Meadowlands meeting with eight victories.

Born: July 18, 1987 | Birthplace: Jerez de la Frontera, Cadiz, Spain | Residence: Tampa, FL First Win: Teifani, Costa del Sol | Started Riding: Costa del Sol, Malaga, Spain | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Monmouth Park

Gallardo won his fifth Oldsmar riding title last season with 122 victories. He had finished second the previous season with 101 victories, including a meeting-best five stakes victories. His haul included World of Trouble’s scintillating victory in the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association Marion County Florida Sire Stakes in which the then-3-year-old set a track record with a 109 Beyer Speed Figure. Gallardo then went to Presque Isle Downs in Erie, Pa., where he captured the riding crown with 155 victories, two more than close friend Pablo Morales. Among Gallardo’s triumphs was his second consecutive victory in the Grade II Presque Isle Downs Masters Stakes on Hotshot Anna. As Tampa Bay Downs prepared to open this season, Gallardo was closing in quickly on 2,000 U.S. victories. He has nine graded-stakes victories in his career, including the Grade III Monmouth Oaks last summer on Hopeful Growth. Gallardo won his fourth Oldsmar riding crown in 2017-2018 with 120 victories, but his fun was just starting. In May of 2018 in the United Nation Stakes at Monmouth Park, he captured the first Grade I victory of his career, aboard 23-1 shot Funtastic for trainer Chad Brown. Gallardo collected career victory No. 1,500 in his career on Naut a Giver at Presque Isle Downs for conditioner Teresa Connelly. The hard-driving Spaniard posted 320 victories in 2015 to finish second in North America to Eclipse Award winner Javier Castellano and finished second again in 2016 with 332 victories, behind Jose Ortiz’s 351 total. Gallardo won three consecutive jockey titles at Tampa Bay Downs from 2013-2016, setting a track record with 147 winners during the 2014-2015 meeting. He also won three consecutive titles at Presque Isle Downs. He rode his 1,000th winner at Presque Isle Downs in July of 2016. Gallardo has won five races on a card at Tampa Bay Downs five times. Trainer Kathleen O’Connell probably said it best after Gallardo set the Tampa Bay Downs single-season victory record aboard her 5-year-old gelding Silver Halo at the tail end of the 2014-2015 meeting: “He’s relentless in his work ethic. I don’t care if there is one horse to breeze, he comes out for whoever’s horse it is,” O’Connell said. “He is very astute at studying horses and films, and he is just a wonderful person to work with.” Gallardo emerged as a force to be reckoned with at Calder Race Course on Aug. 24, 2013 by winning four consecutive stakes, the last three for O’Connell.

37 Jockey Profiles Wilmer Garcia

Born: January 8, 1992 | Birthplace: The Bronx, New York | Residence: Odessa, FL First Win: Anne’s Tuition, Penn National, 2012 | Started Riding: 2011, Penn National | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Monmouth Park

Family has played a huge role in Garcia’s career. After suffering a hairline fracture in his neck in a car accident in January of 2013, he returned to his hometown of Manati, Puerto Rico, where he was nursed back to health by his mother, Omayra Aviles. Time helped restore him to good cheer, along with a steady diet of his favorite home-cooked meals. “”I think I gained a couple of pounds while I was back home,” Garcia said. Despite the uncertainty of 2020, Garcia had a strong year, finishing 10th in the Oldsmar standings with 30 victories. He followed up by riding 13 winners at the Monmouth Park spring-summer meeting. Garcia gained new fans locally in December of 2016 when he rode 9-1 shot Triple Chelsea to a come- from-behind victory in the Lightning City Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs, splitting horses in deep stretch for a neck victory. Garcia was already known on the Oldsmar backside for his outgoing nature and friendly personality. “People who have a passion for this business and for this world we live in have the best chance for success, and Wilmer loves the game,” said trainer Kathleen O’Connell. Garcia’s fiancée, Samantha Adamo, is an exercise rider for the O’Connell barn. Garcia, who rode his first career winner three days before his 20th birthday, first gained attention in 2012 when he won 11 races at Saratoga as an apprentice. In 2018, Garcia and O’Connell teamed to win the Grade II, $250,000 Princess Rooney Stakes at Gulfstream Park with 4-year-old filly Stormy Embrace, a 15-1 shot. The victory earned her a berth in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint at Churchill Downs. Garcia, O’Connell and Stormy Embrace won the Princess Rooney again in 2019.

38 Jockey Profiles Willie Martinez

Born: March 3, 1971 | Birthplace: Santurce, Puerto Rico | Residence: Tampa, FL First Win: La Glaze, Tampa Bay Downs, 1989 | Started Riding: 1989, Tampa Bay Downs | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Presque Isle Downs

On Aug. 11, the popular veteran, who rode his first career winner in 1989 at Tampa Bay Downs, scored career victory No. 3,500 on Lawn Dart at Presque Isle Downs & Casino. Known to his legion of fans as “Chilly Willie,” Martinez scored the biggest victory of his distinguished career in the $1.5-million Xpressbet Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Santa Anita in 2012 on a 3-year-old colt named Trinniberg for trainer Shivananda Parbhoo. Earlier that year, Martinez had ridden Trinniberg to victories in the Grade II Woody Stephens Stakes and a pair of Grade III stakes, and his devotion paid off with a victory on the biggest stage of international racing. The milestone triumph capped Martinez’s amazing comeback from a serious spill in August of 2011, which occurred two weeks after earning career victory No. 3,000 at Presque Isle Downs. Martinez suffered a broken collarbone, broken ribs and a punctured lung, but he proved a quick healer, scoring on New Year’s Eve in the Minaret Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs aboard the popular It’s Me Mom. Martinez has been a mainstay at Tampa Bay Downs since 1989, when he was the track’s leading apprentice. From 1992-2007, Martinez (along with William Henry) held the single-season wins record at Tampa Bay Downs with 123. Martinez has won riding titles at Tampa Bay Downs, Ellis Park, Turfway Park, Keeneland and Hialeah. His nine Turfway titles are the most in the track’s history. Martinez rode seven winners on a single card at Ellis Park in 1993. He won four graded stakes on the outstanding gelding Brass Hat, including the Grade I Donn Handicap at Gulfstream in 2006.

39 Jockey Profiles Raul Mena

Born: June 16, 1992 | Birthplace: Santiago, Chile | Residence: Oldsmar, FL First Win: Hyde House, 2010, Valparaiso Sporting, Chile | Started Riding: 2010, Valparaiso Sporting | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Delaware Park

Mena’s determination to be a jockey was tested less than two years into his career when his mount threw him to the ground in a race at Valparaiso Sporting in Chile. He incurred a broken collarbone, broken vertebrae and busted ribs, and seven months went by before he was cleared to return to riding. His resolve never wavered. “My father taught me the way of the horses when I was growing up, and he still works on the racetrack (at Club Hipico de Santiago, as a maintenance worker),” Mena said. “It’s the dream for a lot of young people in my country, and after my father helped me find a racetrack job as a groom when I was 14, I knew it was what I wanted to do.” On April 17 of 2020, Mena won three consecutive races at Tampa Bay Downs to earn the Señor Tequila Mexican Grill Jockey of the Month award. The previous September, he had won four consecutive races at Delaware Park. Mena, who was mentored early in his career by countryman Jose Santos, a Hall of Fame jockey, tries to absorb knowledge on a daily basis from such veteran Tampa Bay Downs jockeys as Jesus Castanon, Willie Martinez and Antonio Gallardo. He stays on an even keel with support from his wife, exercise rider Jaqueline Cabral, and his agent, Yamil Mayo. After finishing eighth in the Oldsmar standings last season with 38 victories, Mena had a solid meeting at Delaware Park, placing seventh with 28 winners. In September, he scored a Grade I Arabian-bred victory aboard Dance With Me BW in the Buzz Brauinger Arabian Distaff at Delaware.

40 Jockey Profiles Pablo Morales

Born: September 5, 1988 | Birthplace: Birthplace: Lima, Peru | Residence: Tampa, FL First Win: Alena’s Boy, Gulfstream Park, 2005 | Started Riding: 2004, Monterrico, Peru | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Presque Isle Downs

Pablo Morales thrilled his family and friends on June 24 at Tampa Bay Downs, scoring career victory No. 2,000 on Sanguine. His momentum continued after he moved his tack from the Oldsmar oval to Presque Isle Downs, where he captured his sixth title at the Erie, Pa., racetrack with 97 victories, 59 more than the co-runners-up. He had finished fourth at Tampa Bay Downs with 61 winners. On Kentucky Derby Day, May 4, 2019 Morales had an afternoon Tampa Bay Downs fans will be talking about for years to come. He was a perfect 5-for-5, including victories in the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association Silver Charm Florida Sire Stakes on Jackson and the FTBOA Ivanavinalot Stakes on Wildwood’s Beauty. Earlier in the meeting, Morales won the Grade III, $250,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes for 3-year-old Triple Crown hopefuls on Well Defined for trainer Kathleen O’Connell. Morales finished third in the standings with 69 victories, then moved to Presque Isle Downs in Erie, Pa., where he was second with 153 victories. He had won a fifth Presque Isle Downs title the previous year with 142 winners. Given his youth, it sounds funny to say Morales has “finally” arrived in the top echelon of Oldsmar jockeys, but there is no question his performance the last four seasons has been topnotch. He rode 201 winners in 2017, at the time a career best. In addition to finishing third in the Tampa Bay Downs standings in 2016-2017 with 74 victories, Morales won both the Pelican Stakes and the Florida Cup Hilton Garden Inn on Tiger Blood for trainer Darien Rodriguez. Morales went on to win his fourth riding title in 2017 at Presque Isle Downs in Erie, Pa., and his first since 2013 with a staggering total of 124 victories, 44 more than the runner-up. Morales rode five winners on a single card at Presque Isle Downs that July. Morales earned his first North American victory at Gulfstream in 2005 before his 17th birthday; that same year, just after turning 17, he captured the Grade II, $750,000 Super Derby at Louisiana Downs aboard The Daddy. Earlier in his career, Morales spent two winters riding at Aqueduct in New York for such leading trainers as Gary Contessa, Kiaran McLaughlin and H. Graham Motion, but welcomes the chance every winter and spring to compete at Tampa Bay Downs. One of several jockeys from Peru to ride in Oldsmar in recent years, Morales attended the same jockey school as Hall of Fame member Edgar Prado, Rafael Bejarano and former Tampa Bay Downs standout Fernando De La Cruz.

41 Jockey Profiles Ademar Santos

Born: August 27, 1975 | Birthplace: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | Residence: Oldsmar, FL First Win: The Cure, Hipodromo de Gavea, Brazil, 1993 | Started Riding: 1993, Hipodromo de Gavea, Brazil Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Thistledown

Santos crafted an 11th-place finish at Tampa Bay Downs last season with 29 victories. Some of his success is attributable to his wife, Rose Miranda, who worked as his agent. Santos has a strong support system in Rose and their three sons: twins Lucas and Gabriel and Rafael. The boys were born in Ireland, where Santos worked for three years as a gallop person and exercise rider. Santos won the Jockeys’ Challenge during the Summer Festival of Racing in 2014 and 2015, winning four races and finishing in the money on all 11 mounts during the 2015 event. Santos believes a positive attitude is his key to success on the track. “As long as I stay motivated and stay positive, I can keep improving,” he said. “I have an Equicizer (a mechanical horse) at home and spend a half-hour on it every morning after working out seven or eight horses at the track, so I think I’m as fit as anybody.” Santos won the Grade II Kennedy Road Stakes at Woodbine in Toronto in 2018 on Ikerrin Road.

42 Jockey Profiles Scott Spieth

Born: October 25, 1966 | Birthplace: Litchfield, Michigan | Residence: Oldsmar, FL First Win: Glendale Downs, 1981 (Quarter Horse) | Started Riding: 1981, Glendale Downs Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Presque Isle Downs

Age is just a number to Spieth, who followed a ninth-place finish last season at Tampa Bay Downs with 36 winners by winning 34 races at Presque Isle Downs to finish fifth.. With almost 4,900 victories approaching the 2020-2021 Oldsmar meeting, the 5,000 mark -- achieved by only 36 jockeys -- is growing tantalizingly close. “I enjoy working with horses, I enjoy riding races and I love the competition,” Spieth said. “I’m healthy and I feel good. The day it becomes where it’s work rather than I love it, that’s the time to say I’ve had enough.” In 2017, Spieth won the riding title at Delaware Park with 51 victories, his first meeting title in a decade. In April of 2016, Spieth visited a winner’s circle for the 4,500th time aboard the 4-year-old filly Awesome Indeed. Making the occasion doubly meaningful was that the horse was trained by Spieth’s fiancée (now his wife), Aldana Gonzalez-Spieth. He also had the opportunity to ride War Story in the 2016 $6-million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita, and although they finished off the board, the experience provided a wealth of memories. From 2000-2008, Spieth often rode two cards a day, competing at ThistleDown outside Cleveland during the day and at Mountaineer in West Virginia at night. Spieth rode 307 winners in 2005 and averaged 269 a year from 2005-2007. In 2009, he recorded perhaps the most memorable victory in his career in the $500,000 West Virginia Jefferson Security Cup Cavada Breeders’ Classic at Charles Town aboard 3-year-old filly My Sister Margaret. “I’ve put in my time, that’s for sure,” Spieth says. “I’ve had spills that could have been major problems but haven’t been, so I’ve been lucky. I guess I would describe myself as being very dedicated toward the business.” He credits his parents, Lavern and Gearldine, as well as his brothers, former Quarter Horse trainer Tony and equine dentist and blacksmith Jason, for their lifelong support. His daughter, Kirsten Swan, is a jockey who won the 2014 Darley Award for her exploits aboard Arabian-bred horses.

43 Jockey Profiles Huber Villa-Gomez

Born: January 28, 1976 | Birthplace: Ayacucho, Peru | Residence: Tampa, FL First Win: Victorio, in Peru | Started Riding: 1997 | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Presque Isle Downs

Villa-Gomez, who scored career victory No. 2,000 in July of 2019 at Presque Isle Downs with Cozar’s Queen, is the epitome of a “lunch-bucket jockey.” He comes to work every day, quietly goes about his business and by the end of the day, he rewards his owners, trainers and backers with the best possible effort from their horses. At Presque Isle Downs in Erie, Pa., Villa-Gomez finished in a tie for sixth in the standings with 27 victories. He won 80 races at Presque Isle Downs in 2017, finishing second in the standings, and managed a sixth-place finish at the Erie, Pa., track in 2018 with 49 victories. In 2011, he tied Pablo Morales for the Presque Isle Downs crown. Villa-Gomez captured his first graded-stakes triumph in October of 2015 by winning the Grade III Ontario Fashion Stakes at Woodbine in Toronto on Cactus Kris. In May of 2016, they won the Grade III Hendrie at Woodbine for the rider’s second graded-stakes victory. Villa-Gomez missed the entire 2014-2015 Tampa Bay Downs season due to injury, but he returned to enjoy a strong meeting at Presque Isle Downs, finishing eighth with 31 victories. A measure of the respect in which he is held came toward the tail end of the 2011-12 Tampa Bay Downs meeting, when he rode 11 winners during a seven-day stretch — for nine different trainers. Villa-Gomez began riding in his native Peru after he gained an interest in horses through a cousin who worked at a racetrack. “The first day I went to the track, that’s when I knew I wanted to ride,” he says. At 18 he attended jockey school in Peru, and won his first race there on Victorio. During the 2010-11 Tampa Bay Downs meeting, Villa-Gomez was aboard Sneaking Uponyou for trainer Jamie Ness when the 5-year-old gelding set a six-furlong track record of 1:08.69 (since lowered) in the 2011 Florida Cup Hilton Garden Inn Sprint; the connections won the race again in 2014. Through his 20-year career, Villa-Gomez has won at a steady 15-percent clip. When he’s not riding, Villa-Gomez enjoys being with his children, Maxy and Abby.

44 Jockey Profiles Gary Wales

Born: December 3, 1985 | Birthplace: Edinburgh, Scotland | Residence: Residence: North Adams, Massachusetts First Win: Leading Character, 2008, Colonial Downs | Started Riding: 2006, Lingfield Park Racecourse, England Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Emerald Downs

Despite a distance of about 4,500 miles from his birthplace, Wales feels right at home at Emerald Downs in Washington state during the summer. After finishing fourth in the Emerald standings in 2018 with 54 victories, Wales won the 2019 meeting in runaway fashion, piloting 99 winners, 33 more than the runner-up. He followed that up in 2020 with a third-place effort, winning 50 races. Wales rode 20 winners last season at Tampa Bay Downs. Attending the races at Musselburgh Racecourse in East Lothian, Scotland with his grandfather as a youngster sparked a love of Thoroughbreds in Wales, who worked at the local stables before enrolling in the Northern Racing College in Doncaster, England when he was 17. In August of 2013, he was bidding to be leading jockey at Suffolk when he fractured his L2 vertebra in a spill, sidelining him for six weeks. Upon his return, he won on a mare named Thereisgoldahead trained by his wife, Katie Mancini-Wales. The couple met about 11 years ago in South Carolina, where he was exercising horses and she was working for pinhooker Kip Elser. His enthusiasm for racing is infectious. “There is nothing better, especially when you ride a good horse,” Wales said. “It’s an adrenaline rush, and it’s more of an adrenaline rush when you win.” Wales won the Washington Oaks at Emerald Downs in September aboard Princess of Cairo.

Born: January 16, 1978 | Birthplace: Lima, Peru | Residence: Oldsmar, FL First Win: Moonshine Promise, Tampa Bay Downs, 2017 | Started Training: 2017, Tampa Bay Downs Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Gulfstream Park, Gulfstream Park West

Arriagada won about 300 races as a jockey in Peru and Chile as a teenager before coming to the United States in 2004. Working under such well-known conditioners as Joe Orseno, Rusty Arnold, Anthony Dutrow and Anthony Pecoraro laid a sturdy foundation for success. Arriagada sent out 20 winners last season to tie for eighth in the Oldsmar standings. In April of 2017, Arriagada purchased a 2-year-old filly, Estilo Femenino, for $9,500 at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales As a 3-year-old, she finished second to Curlin’s Approval in a stakes race at Gulfstream, and Arriagada subsequently sold her for $350,000. On Mother’s Day of 2017, Arriagada married trainer Alison Hassig, whom he’d met two years earlier at Delaware Park. The couple has a daughter, Tezza, who was born in August of 2018. “Money is important. You can’t really do anything without it,” Arriagada said. “But to have a child is the most beautiful thing in life. You have to cherish things. Life isn’t always about yourself. I want my daughter to enjoy what I can provide, and I want to leave her something. Really, I feel miserable if I’m not working hard. My body has to be tired when I go home.”

48 Trainer Profiles Gerald Bennett

Born: March 12, 1944 | Birthplace: Springhill, Nova Scotia | Residence: Tampa, FL First Win: Greenwood, Canada | Started Training: 1974 | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Delaware Park, Presque Isle Downs

By winning his fifth consecutive Tampa Bay Downs training title last season (and sixth overall) with 61 victories, Bennett joined Jamie Ness as the only trainers to win five in a row. Bennett is 14th all-time among North American trainers with more than 3,900 victories entering the 2020-2021 meeting. Bennett, who ended the nine-year reign of Ness in 2015-2016 with 51 victories, tied Ness for the top spot during the 2010-2011 campaign. Bennett, the father of trainer Dale Bennett, tied a Tampa Bay Downs record on Dec. 7, 2016 by saddling four winners from four starters, and he went 4-for-5 on Feb. 17 last season. Bennett has always had a knack for Thoroughbred reclamation projects. He picked up minor stakes winner Beau Genius after his 3-year-old season and trained him to victory in 13 stakes, including the 1990 Philip H. Iselin (then a Grade I) and the 1990 Michigan Mile and One-Eighth Handicap, then a Grade II. Beau Genius won the Hallandale Handicap for Bennett at Gulfstream in 1990, a race also notable as the final victory for Hall of Fame jockey Bill Shoemaker. Among other notable Bennett trainees are Secret Romeo, winner of the 2002 Super Stakes and Pelican Stakes, and Banker’s Jet, winner of seven stakes and more than $670,000. Bennett trained Fast Flying Rumor, who established a Tampa Bay Downs Beyer Speed Figure record of 108 (since bettered) in winning the $100,000 Turf Dash in 2016. In July, Bennett won the MTA Stallion Auction Stakes at Canterbury in Minnesota with his homebred 3-year-old colt, He's Smokin Now. Among his numerous accomplishments, Bennett has won five races in one day. Victory No. 3,500 came at Tampa Bay Downs in March of 2015 with the 3-year-old filly Once More for Love. In 2016-2017, Bennett saddled R Angel Katelyn to win three stakes and finish third in the Suncoast Stakes. Bennett, who tied for fifth at Delaware Park with 14 victories, previously trained Standardbreds in Canada.

49 Trainer Profiles Maria Bowersock

Born: September 16, 1981 | Birthplace: East Liverpool, Ohio | Residence: Wellsville, Ohio First Win: Fast Fashion, Presque Isle Downs (2009) | Started Training: Presque Isle Downs, 2009 Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Gulfstream Park, Gulfstream Park West, Presque Isle Downs

Although her father was a Thoroughbred trainer and an uncle and a cousin still train, Maria Bowersock didn’t take the plunge until 11 years ago, when she met her fiancé, four-time champion Tampa Bay Downs jockey Ronnie Allen, Jr. Before making the move to the racetrack, Bowersock competed in rodeos as a barrel racer, an event in which horse and rider are timed going around preset barrels in a cloverleaf pattern. Bowersock’s mother, Jeanie, still competes in barrel racing, and her twin sister Pamela is a barrel racer who is married to world champion saddle bronc rider Sean Prater. Bowersock continues to prove she made the best choice for herself as she climbs the ranks of conditioners at both Tampa Bay Downs and Presque Isle Downs in Erie, Pa. Her small stable posted 20 victories last season in Oldsmar, good for a tie for eighth place. Bowersock helped Allen achieve a major career milestone in 2013 at Presque Isle Downs, saddling her filly Ghost Flower for the jockey’s 3,000th career victory. Bowersock reached a milestone herself at Presque Isle Downs in 2017, posting career victory No. 100 with Ripinandatearin in August.

50 Trainer Profiles Luis Carvajal, Jr.

Born: July 6, 1972 | Birthplace: Santiago, Chile | Residence: Tarpon Springs, FL First Win: Fagedabouditsal, Monmouth, 2007 | Started Training: 2006 | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Monmouth, Parx Racing, mid-Atlantic

Carvajal came to the attention of Tampa Bay Downs fans in April of 2016 when he sent out owner Raymond Mamone’s 3-year-old Imperial Hint to win the Florida Cup Ocala Breeders’ Sales Sophomore. It was only the colt’s second career start and his time of 1:22.15 for the 7 furlongs was .02 seconds off the stakes record. Carvajal developed Imperial Hint into one of the world’s top sprinters. The Florida-bred won four Grade I stakes and earned almost $2.2-million entering the 2019 Breeders’ Cup at Santa Anita, from which he was scratched after developing a foot blister. In July of 2019, Imperial Hint set a 6-furlong track record of 1:07.92 at venerable Saratoga in the Grade I Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap. Following a second- place finish in 2017 in the TwinSpires Breeders’ Cup Sprint, Imperial Hint finished third in the 2018 running at Churchill Downs. As a youngster in Chile, Carvajal wanted to become a jockey, but when he grew too big he decided to find other ways to be involved in racing. A few years after moving to the United States as a teenager, Carvajal went to work galloping horses for top trainer Angel Penna, Jr. In 1997, Carvajal joined trainer Robert Durso’s operation as a gallop person and assistant trainer. When Durso became ill, Carvajal took charge. He strengthened his determination to continue learning, hoping one day to train a horse the caliber of Imperial Hint. Among his other top horses was Fagedaboudit Sal, a gelding who had 81 starts and won three stakes and almost $700,000.

51 Trainer Profiles Arnaud Delacour

Born: April 7, 1975 | Birthplace: Lisieux, France | Residence: Elkton, MD First Win: Country Lyric, Pimlico | Started Training: 2013, Pimlico | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, New York, Kentucky, mid-Atlantic

Delacour saddled his second consecutive winner of the Grade III Lambholm South Endeavour Stakes last season, sending out Jehozacat for owner Lael Stables. In September, Delacour and Lael Stables combined to win the Grade I Belmont Oaks Invitational with 3-year-old filly Magic Attitude. He came within an eyelash of capturing his first Breeders’ Cup victory at Churchill Downs in 2018 when his 4-year-old filly Chalon was caught by Shamrock Rose in the final jumps of the Filly and Mare Sprint. Just a day earlier, Delacour had won the Grade III Bold Ruler at Aqueduct with 4-year-old gelding No Dozing. Delacour joined an exclusive fraternity on July 30, 2016 when his then-6-year-old gelding A.P. Indian, bred and owned by Green Lantern Stables, won the Grade I Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap at Saratoga. Four weeks later, A.P. Indian won the Grade I Priority One Jets Forego Stakes at Saratoga, part of a six-race winning streak. He concluded his campaign by finishing third in the TwinSpires Breeders’ Cup Sprint and was an Eclipse Award finalist. Delacour’s work with the Indian Charlie offspring, who did not make a start in stakes competition until his 5-year-old season, included a victory in his only start at Tampa Bay Downs. Divining Rod, owned by Delacour’s major client Lael Stables, finished second in the 2015 Grade III Sam F. Davis Stakes, third in that year’s Grade II Tampa Bay Derby and third in the Xpressbet. com Preakness, behind Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. Delacour is the husband of trainer Leigh Delacour, who tied for 10th in the Tampa Bay Downs standings during the 2012-2013 meeting with 16 winners. After the birth of their son Luca in August of 2012, the couple planned for Arnaud to take over the conditioning duties on a full-time basis. The Delacours keep their horses at Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland during the summer, enabling them to ship to a variety of mid-Atlantic and Northeast tracks. During the Oldsmar season, they also keep a string at Classic Mile Park Training Complex in Ocala. Arnaud, who has about 70 horses in his barn, worked as an assistant to Alain de Royer-Dupre in France and was an exercise rider for Christophe Clement.

Born: December 22, 1978 | Birthplace: Panama City, Panama | Residence: Oceanport, NJ First Win: 2017, I’m Thirsty, Monmouth Park | Started Training: 2017, Gulfstream Park | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Monmouth Park, Parx Racing

Delgado enjoyed a strong season at Tampa Bay Downs, tying for fourth in the standings with 23 victories. His success continued at Monmouth, where he finished second with 17 winners. About 18 years ago, when he was a jockey, Delgado moved his tack to Saudi Arabia, where he rode for about four months. The native of Panama City, Panama rode more than 300 winners before hanging up his tack in 2014. Among Delgado’s top mounts was Wicapi, upon whom he won the 1996 Thanksgiving Day Handicap and the 1996 Flying Pidgeon Handicap, both at Calder in Miami (now Gulfstream Park West). In addition to riding in south Florida, Delgado was a jockey in Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan and Delaware. The 6-year- old gelding Rol Again Question shone at Tampa Bay Downs during the 2018-2019 season, winning three times for Delgado and owner Midnight Stables.

53 Trainer Profiles Mike Dini

Born: November 1, 1960 | Birthplace: Chicago, Illinois | Residence: Oldsmar, FL First Win: Glen Savoye, Thistledown, 1995 | Started Training: 1995, Thistledown | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Monmouth Park, New York, mid-Atlantic

Dini enjoyed one of his best seasons at Tampa Bay Downs in 2019-2020, sending out 23 winners to tie for fourth place in the standings. For major client Ballybrit Stable, he trained fan favorite Dynatail, a multiple stakes-winning mare who earned almost $550,000. She was retired after the Grade II Hillsborough Stakes in 2020 and successfully bred to top sire Kitten’s Joy. Another Ballybrit-owned mare trained by Dini, Bird’s Eye View, placed in Grade II and Grade III stakes races and amassed more than $300,000. Dini has trained for Ballybrit, owned by Dr. Alan Lustig of nearby Seminole, Fla., for almost 10 years. They scored a victory with homebred filly Bramble Queen in the 2019 Illini Princess Handicap at Hawthorne and another with homebred filly Bramble Bay in the 2020 Jersey Girl Handicap at Monmouth Park. As a teenager in the Chicago area, Dini became interested in horses by caring for equines owned by his uncle, a member of the Medinah Black Horse Troop, a group which raises money to benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children. Before taking out a trainer’s license, Dini worked as a groom for Noel Hickey, known as the trainer of 1998 Breeders’ Cup Turf winner Buck’s Boy. Dini joined the club of graded stakes-winning trainers in 2007 via a victory by Connections in the Grade III Kennedy Road Stakes at Woodbine. Other top horses conditioned by Dini include stakes winners Taylor Madison and Rockhurst.

54 Trainer Profiles Anthony Granitz

Born: October 25, 1963 | Birthplace: Chicago, IL | Residence: Lemont, IL; Safety Harbor, FL First Win: Balmoral Park, 1984 | Started Training: 1983, Illinois | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Arlington International, Indiana Grand, Hawthorne

The Chicago native has become a regular visitor to the winner’s circle in his 14 seasons at Tampa Bay Downs. Granitz, who has almost 1,300 career victories, sent out 16 winners last season to finish in a tie for 11th in the standings. One of Granitz’s best horses was Indiana-bred Lady Fog Horn, who won 14 of 26 career starts and earned $824,273. Her seven stakes victories included the Grade II Falls City Handicap at Churchill Downs in 2016. Granitz helped engineer one of the bigger upsets of the 2016-2017 Oldsmar stakes schedule when then-3-year-old filly Triple Chelsea won the Lightning City Stakes at odds of 9-1. Granitz achieved a career milestone in January of 2015 at Tampa Bay Downs, notching victory No. 1,000 with the gelding Wedding Savior. He dedicated the victory to his father, Chris Granitz, who introduced him to Thoroughbred racing by taking him to Arlington Park in Chicago when he was 13. That summer, the elder Granitz helped Anthony get a job at Arlington Park working for friends, and he has been involved in the sport ever since. He was an assistant to his brother, Chris Granitz, Jr., before Chris took a job with the railroad and Anthony took over the stable. Granitz sends many of his young horses to Ocala to be broken by Chad Stewart before they return to the racetrack. In 2014, Granitz’s then-5-year-old, Tell All You Know, won the Honor the Hero Stakes at Canterbury Park. Among his other top horses are False Promises, who won the Grade III Hawthorne Derby in 2003; 1991 Grade III Hawthorne Budweiser Breeders’ Cup Handicap winner Lord Joe; multiple-stakes winner Darley Dancer, an Illinois-bred who earned more than $500,000 racing in the early to mid-1990s; and Coni Bug, an Illinois-bred champion and winner of the 1992 Pocahontas Stakes at Churchill Downs.

55 Trainer Profiles Tim Hamm

Born: February 3, 1966 | Birthplace: Warren, Ohio | Residence: Morriston, FL; North Jackson, OH First Win: Rose Colored Lady, River Downs, 1996 | Started Training: 1996, Turfway Park Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Gulfstream Park, Presque Isle Downs, Thistledown, Belterra Park, Mahoning Valley Race Course

Hamm burst into national prominence in 2020 for his work with 2-year-old filly Dayoutoftheoffice, owned by his Blazing Meadows Farm in partnership with her breeder, Siena Farms. The journey took flight with a July victory in the historic Grade III Schuylerville Stakes at Saratoga, followed by a triumph in the Grade I Frizette in October at Belmont. That stamped her ticket to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Keeneland, where she finished second to Vequist while boosting her earnings to $556,500. It was a magical day for Hamm, as his daughters, Taylor and Tori, flew to the race with Thoroughbred owners and family friends Ed and Patricia Pavlish from Ohio to watch. They all returned in time, with Dad in tow, to watch son Shane Hamm, a senior quarterback at Akron Archbishop Hoban High, lead his team to a state playoff victory. Shane has been at the helm for three state championships following still another title in 2020. Family comes first for Tim, whose father Thomas was a trainer and still helps out at both Blazing Meadows locations in Florida and Ohio. Shawna Hamm, mom of Taylor, Tori and Shane, does the bookkeeping and other vital office duties. All the help enables Tim to keep proving that Ohio can be fertile ground for producing top-quality racehorses. In partnership with WinStar Farm, Blazing Meadows (located in North Jackson, Ohio) bred 2-year-old filly Alexandria, a three-time stakes winner in Ohio who finished third in the Grade III Pocahontas Stakes at Churchill Downs. Another Blazing Meadows/Winstar Ohio-bred 2-year-old filly trained by Hamm, Esplanande, is a two-time Ohio stakes winner who finished second in the Grade II Spinaway Stakes at Saratoga. Hamm, who has trained more than 1,300 winners, has about 130 horses of racing age and another 100 or so yearlings being broken on the farm in Morriston, outside Ocala. He is a past president of both the Ohio Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners and the Ohio Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association and was instrumental in securing the addition of video slot machines at Ohio racetracks.

56 Trainer Profiles Eoin Harty

Born: November 23, 1962 | Birthplace: Dublin, Ireland | Residence: Arcadia, CA Started Training: 2000, West Coast | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Kentucky, Arlington International, Hawthorne, southern California

Harty, who saddled 14 winners at Tampa Bay Downs last season, has forged a tremendous record of success since moving to the United States at age 17 following one year at the Irish National Stud. He spent 14 years as an assistant trainer in southern California, first with John Russell and then with Bob Baffert. Harty was part of the Baffert team when both Silver Charm and Real Quiet won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness in 1997 and 1998. Once on his own, Harty burst onto the national scene in 2001, sending out Tempera to win the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies as well as saddling the runner-up, Imperial Gesture. Tempera received an Eclipse Award as Champion 2-Year-Old Filly. Harty earned the richest victory of his career in 2009 when Well Armed won the $6-million Dubai World Cup by a record 14 lengths. That followed an outstanding 2008 campaign when the trainer won seven graded stakes, including the Goodwood with Well Armed and the Santa Anita Derby and Travers with Colonel John. Other Grade I winners for Harty include Victor’s Cry and Dubai Escapade. After a four-year dry spell, Harty returned to the ranks of graded stakes-winning trainers in 2016 when he sent out then-4-year-old mare Innovative Idea to win the Grade III Groupie Doll Stakes at Ellis Park. Harty’s great-grandfather began his racing career in Ireland in 1880, working as both a jockey and a trainer. Eoin’s grandfather Cyril trained Knight’s Crest, winner of the 1944 Irish Grand National. His father, Eddie, was an accomplished equestrian who competed in the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome and later won the Grand National Steeplechase as a jockey. Harty met his wife Kathy in 1986 when she was exercising horses for John Russell.

57 Trainer Profiles H. Graham Motion

Born: May 22, 1964 | Birthplace: Cambridge, England | Residence: Fair Hill, Maryland Started Training: 1993, Laurel | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Kentucky, New York, mid-Atlantic

The hits keep coming for Motion, who had eight 2020 graded-stakes victories approaching the 2020-2021 Oldsmar meeting. He collected his fourth Breeders' Cup victory in November of 2019 at Santa Anita with Sharing in the Juvenile Fillies Turf. The conditioner had previously enjoyed graded-stakes success in 2019 with Mrs. Sippy, Varenka, Secret Message, English Bee, Si Que Es Buena and Just Howard. Best known as the conditioner of 2011 Kentucky Derby winner and 2013 Dubai World Cup Sponsored by Emirates Airlines winner Animal Kingdom, Motion has built an enviable record by getting the most out of such other Grade I winners as Better Talk Now, Main Sequence, Film Maker, Shared Account, 2014 Tampa Bay Derby winner Ring Weekend and Miss Temple City. He paid his dues as a younger man, working for Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard after graduating from Kent School in Connecticut. After six years, Motion joined trainer Jonathan Pease in Chantilly, France, where he met his wife Anita, who was then working for trainer Alain de Royer-Dupre. In 1990, Motion returned stateside to work as an assistant to Bernie P. Bond at Laurel. Three years later, after Bond died, Motion took out his own license and named his Fair Hill, Md.-based operation Herringswell Stables, after his childhood home in Newmarket, England. Motion’s profile skyrocketed when he trained Better Talk Now to win the 2004 John Deere Breeders’ Cup Turf at Lone Star Park. Subsequent Breeders’ Cup victories came with Shared Account 9the dam of Sharing) in the 2010 Filly and Mare Turf and Main Sequence in the 2014 Turf. That year, Main Sequence was named Champion Male Turf Horse and Champion Older Male. Also in 2014, Motion won both the Grade III Endeavour Stakes and the Grade III Hillsborough at Tampa Bay Downs with Cloud Scapes. He made a huge impact at the Oldsmar oval in 2002, capturing the Tampa Bay Derby with Equality. Motion, who runs his far-flung operation from his Fair Hill base, considers Tampa Bay Downs an integral part of his success. “I like Tampa’s program and the consistency of the racetracks, both the main track and the turf,” he said. “It’s a good option for getting horses started.”

58 Trainer Profiles Kathleen O’Connell

Birthplace: Detroit, MI | Residence: Davie, FL | First Win: Kim’s Lucky Spot, Detroit Race Course Started Training: Early 1980s, Detroit Race Course | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Monmouth Park, Gulfstream Park, Gulfstream Park West

The popular conditioner known as “K.O.” captured one of the biggest races on the 2018-2019 Tampa Bay Downs calendar with her 3-year-old Florida-bred gelding Well Defined, who won the Grade III, $250,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes. That upset victory was part of another outstanding season in which O’Connell finished second in the Oldsmar trainer standings with 42 victories; she finished second again last season with 33 winners. She later won the Grade II Princess Rooney Stakes at Gulfstream for the second year in a row with her 5-year-old Florida-bred mare, Stormy Embrace. In September of 2018 at Delaware Park, O’Connell recorded career victory No. 2,000 with 2-year-old first-time starter Wishful Quality, a Florida-bred filly owned by Charlie Runion. O'Connell entered the 2020-2021 meeting with almost 2,200 career victories, second to Kim Hammond (2,300-plus) among women trainers in North America. O’Connell’s national profile skyrocketed in 2015 via the accomplishments of her 3-year-old filly Lady Shipman, who finished second by a neck to Mongolian Saturday in the Twinspires Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Keeneland. Lady Shipman’s 8-for-12 career mark through that runner-up effort against older males featured six stakes victories and a pair of course records, including one at Saratoga on the turf in the five-and-a-half furlong Smart N Fancy Stakes. When O’Connell saddled 43-1 shot Watch Me Go to win the 2011 Grade II, $350,000 Tampa Bay Derby for her long-time client, Florida owner-breeder Gilbert Campbell, it was one of the most popular outcomes in track history. O’Connell treats employees, officials and fans with respect and kindness, and her work ethic is an example to any young trainer making their way. She has won two training titles at Tampa Bay Downs and the 2009-10 title at Calder, making her the first woman to capture the crown at the south Florida track now known as Gulfstream Park West. O’Connell gained national recognition in 2013 as the trainer of the 2-year-old filly Scandalous Act, who swept the Florida Stallion Stakes series for fillies en route to a berth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. O'Connell counts millionaire Blazing Sword among her trainees; Blazing Sword captured two divisions of the 1996 Florida Stallion Stakes, the Grade II Washington Handicap and the Calder Derby. Besides Blazing Sword, O'Connell has trained such stakes performers as Shananie's Beat, Lindsay Lane, Shan's Ready, Shananie's Finale, Sheer Bliss and Bettarun Fast. Her 2002 juvenile filly Ivanavinalot won two Florida Stallion Stakes series races, including a record-setting 13 3/4-length win in the My Dear Girl Stakes. Ivanavinalot is the dam of top racehorse Songbird.

59 Trainer Profiles John Rigattieri

Born: February 15, 1950 | Birthplace: Brooklyn, N.Y. | Residence: Safety Harbor, FL First Win: 1972, Rockingham Park | Started Training: 1972, Rockingham Park | Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Monmouth Park, Delaware Park, Laurel

Rigattieri’s foundation in Thoroughbred racing was formed in the mid-1960s, when Saturday cards in New York routinely drew 40,000-50,000 fans and racing took a back seat only to baseball and the NFL. As Rigattieri recalls: “My father, who was a mailman, knew a guy who was the son of Lucien Laurin’s assistant trainer. He helped me get a job walking horses for Mr. Laurin. So if I didn’t do that, I would have been a mailman.” The native of Brooklyn, N.Y., has been delivering results on the track ever since, with more than 2,750 victories entering the 2020-2021 meeting. Hall of Fame member Laurin was, of course, the trainer of 1973 Triple Crown winner Secretariat and 1972 Kentucky Derby and Belmont winner Riva Ridge, and Rigattieri thinks he learned just about everything possible working for him. Laurin saw enough potential in Rigattieri to bring him to his farm in Holly Hill, S.C., where he learned to gallop horses and acquired the discipline and patience needed for long-term success. Rigattieri saddled at least 122 winners every year from 2004-2009, and he won 10 consecutive training titles at Suffolk Downs in Massachusetts. He was also the leading trainer at Pimlico in 2011. The best horse he trained might have been Collegian, owned by his long-time client Manfred Roos. Collegian won 12 races, including the 1990 Hirsch Jacobs Stakes at Pimlico and the 1991 Rockingham Sprint Handicap. Rigattieri considers Tampa Bay Downs an excellent track for playing the claiming game.

60 Trainer Profiles Darien Rodriguez

Born: September 24, 1979 | Birthplace: Santa Clara, Cuba | Residence: Tampa, FL First Win: 2010, Down in Front, Suffolk Downs | Started Training: Suffolk Downs, 2010 Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Gulfstream Park, Gulfstream Park West

Rodriguez enjoyed a strong meeting, saddling 21 winners from 80 starters to tie for sixth in the standings. He performed a masterful training job last season with the 4-year-old Florida-bred filly Crown and Sugar, whose five-race winning streak culminated in a victory in the Florida Cup Pleasant Acres Stallions Distaff Turf Stakes. Rodriguez tied for eighth in 2018-2019 with 14 victories. He operates a relatively small stable, but the results have been impressive. He tied for 10th during the 2017-2018 meeting with 13 victories from 46 starters. Rodriguez had a day he’ll never forget on April 2, 2017, two days after the birth of his son, Tihago. The conditioner’s then-4-year-old colt Tiger Blood provided another huge thrill in the six- furlong Florida Cup Hilton Garden Inn Sprint, speeding home first under jockey Pablo Morales in 1:08.92. Tiger Blood had won the Pelican Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs in his previous start. Rodriguez, who came to the United States from Cuba at age 16, is known as a hands-on trainer with a tireless work ethic. Before starting as a trainer in 2010, Rodriguez worked as an exercise rider for such successful conditioners as Leigh Delacour, Miguel Feliciano and Mike Zwiesler, and he believes galloping his charges gives him a “leg up” against the competition. “I have it in my mind how a horse is going to gallop, and if he doesn’t feel the way I want him to, it forces me to change my mind and find out what’s going on,” Rodriguez said. “I also like to ride them for their final breeze before a race. It lets me see how they’re feeling, and if I’m not happy about how they work, we’ll skip the race and find something else.” When Rodriguez earned career victory No. 100 two seasons ago at Tampa Bay Downs with Crown and Sugar, it was the conditioner’s fourth consecutive victory.

61 Trainer Profiles Derek Ryan

Born: Sept. 22, 1966 | Birthplace: Tipperary, Ireland | Residence: Eatontown, NJ First Win: Moosethegoose, Gulfstream Park, 1996 | Started Training: 1995, Gulfstream Park Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Monmouth Park, New York

One of eight siblings, Ryan became interested in horses at an early age. “I began riding ponies as a little kid, and things just progressed from there,” he recalls. Ryan galloped horses in Europe for trainers Criquette Head, Tommy Stack and Barney Curley. After coming to the United States in 1989, he became a free-lance exercise rider and galloped for Hall of Fame trainer William Mott, Phil Johnson, Joseph Orseno and Richard DeStasio. Ryan set out on his own in 1995 and shortly afterward won his first stakes race with Java Nagila, a former $12,500 claimer. His first graded stakes victory came in the 2002 Jersey Derby with 55-1 shot Emergency Status. Ryan vaulted to national prominence in the spring of 2009 by saddling Musket Man for a victory in the then-Grade III Tampa Bay Derby for owners Eric Fein and Vic Carlson. Musket Man, who had won the Pasco Stakes earlier in the meeting, later captured the Grade II Illinois Derby and finished third in both the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands and Blackberry Preakness. As a 4-year-old, Musket Man won the Super Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs and finished second in a pair of Grade I stakes, the Carter Handicap and the Metropolitan Handicap, as well as finishing third in the Grade I Whitney at Saratoga. Ryan narrowly missed capturing the next year’s Tampa Bay Derby when his Schoolyard Dreams finished second by a nose to Odysseus, with subsequent Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver third. Ryan tied for 11th in last season's Oldsmar standings with 16 victories. In December of 2014, Ryan unveiled a speedy 2-year-old filly named Irish Jasper, who won the Gasparilla Stakes in record time of 1:22.41 for seven furlongs. Subsequent victories as a 3-year-old in the Belle Harbor Stakes at Aqueduct, the Grade III Adena Springs Miss Preakness at Pimlico and the Grade III Victory Ride Stakes at Belmont followed before Ryan sold the filly to W.S. Farish and David F. Mackie.

62 Trainer Profiles Michael Stidham

Born: December 18, 1957 | Birthplace: Neptune, N.J. | Residence: New Orleans, LA First Win: 1979, Pair of Three’s, Gulfstream Park | Started Training: 1979, Gulfstream Park Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Fair Grounds, Kentucky, New York, mid-Atlantic

Stidham recorded career victory No. 2,000 on Opening Day last season, reaching the milestone with 4-year-old colt Lem Me Tel Ya. When Stidham brought a string to Tampa Bay Downs during the 2017-2018 meeting, it represented a homecoming of sorts. In 1980, his late father George Stidham sent him to the track then known as Florida Downs with 8-to-10 horses, none of which were candidates for major stakes action. “He told me to go learn something and not bring any back with me – either get them claimed or sold,” Stidham recalls, almost four decades later. “I learned a lot from that experience about working with horses with physical issues.” As he approaches the 2020-2021 meeting, it’s safe to say Stidham has spent his whole career learning how to be successful on the track. The veteran conditioner, who lives in New Orleans with his partner and main assistant, Hilary Pridham, runs major winter operations at both Tampa Bay Downs and Fair Grounds, with more than 100 horses in training. He also keeps horses at the Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland from May through November. After finishing in a tie for fifth in the final Tampa Bay Downs standings with 17 victories three seasons ago, Stidham sent out 26 winners in 2018-2019, good for a third-place finish. Stidham captured the 2015- 2016 Fair Grounds training title with 38 victories. The 2020 campaign marked the seventh year in a row, and 10thof the last 11, in which his runners have earned more than $3-million in purses. Stidham has numerous top horses in training, headed by multiple graded-stakes winner Synchrony, a homebred owned by Pin Oak Stud. Stidham achieved Grade I success with Zipessa in the 2017 First Lady Stakes, Her Emmynency in the 2015 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup, Sutra in the 2006 Frizette and Two Altazano in the 1994 Coaching Club American Oaks. One of his best horses was Willcox Inn, a multiple graded-stakes winner who earned more than $1-million and finished third in the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf. Through mid-November, Stidham had won three graded stakes in 2020: the Grade II Jim Dandy Stakes with Mystic Guide, the Grade II Del Mar Derby with Pixelate and the Grade II Mrs. Revere Stakes with Princess Grace.

63 Trainer Profiles Kent Sweezey

Born: February 21, 1986 | Birthplace: Lexington, KY | Residence: Tinton Falls, NJ First Win: 2017, Lela’s Gift, Churchill Downs | Started Training: 2017, Keeneland Circuit: Tampa Bay Downs, Gulfstream Park, Gulfstream Park West, Monmouth Park, mid-Atlantic, New York

In addition to tying for sixth in last season's Oldsmar standings with 21 victories, Sweezey enjoyed his first taste of graded-stakes success last January, winning the Grade III Fred W. Hooper Stakes at Gulfstream with the 6-year-old gelding Phat Man. Sweezey achieved a once-in-a-lifetime thrill in July of 2019 when he sent out the 3-year-old filly Warm to win a race at Saratoga for owners Leverett and Linda Miller, the conditioner’s first victory at the hallowed upstate New York track. Sweezey finished fifth in the 2019 Monmouth Park standings with 22 victories after a strong finish to the 2018-2019 Oldsmar meeting that saw him win the Salt Rock Tavern Trainer of the Month Award. Sweezey grew up in Lexington, Ky., at Darby Dan Farm, where his father Wayne was the general manager. Kent broadened his Thoroughbred knowledge at major farms in Ireland, New Zealand and Australia, then working for top trainers Christophe Clement, Eoin Harty and Jimmy Jerkens. While with Jerkens, Sweezey worked with such standout runners as Wood Memorial winner Wicked Strong, Breeders’ Cup Classic runner-up Effinex and Travers winner V. E. Day. “Everybody does things a little differently, and I’ve picked up things from everybody I’ve worked with that I’ve tried to make my own,” Sweezey said. “It’s pretty cool and a credit to them.”

64 Owner Profiles Owner Profiles Juan Arriagada

Owner: Juan Arriagada | Born: January 16, 1978 | Birthplace: Lima, Peru | Residence: Oldsmar, FL Tampa Trainer: Juan Arriagada

As an owner, Arriagada won 19 races solely and in various partnerships last season to finish in a tie for second with Godolphin in the standings, five victories behind champion Winning Stables. The previous season, he won nine races from 32 starts, finishing sixth. Arriagada’s grandfather and father were both trainers, so it comes as no surprise that Juan entered the Thoroughbred racing game. His late father Raul trained the successful ridgling Al Khali, who excelled in the United States after being sold by Peruvian interests, winning two graded stakes and achieving millionaire status. Arriagada hoped to be a jockey when he was a boy (he rode two years in Peru and two in Chile before he was 18), but when he grew too big, he turned his sights to the training profession. Arriagada came to the United States in 2004, where he worked as a hotwalker for trainer Joe Orseno at Delaware Park and galloped horses at Sharp Farm before going to work for trainer George “Rusty” Arnold at Churchill Downs. Continuing his education on the track, Arriagada served in the employ of trainers Anthony Dutrow and Anthony Pecoraro before buying his first horse. Arriagada trains his own horses. Displaying a keen eye for quality, Arriagada purchased a March 2015 filly named Estilo Femenino for $9,500 at the 2017 Ocala Breeders’ Sales April auction. She won two of her first three starts before finishing second to multiple graded-stakes winner Curlin’s Approval, a 5-year-old mare, in the Sugarloaf Key Handicap at Gulfstream. Soon afterward, Arriagada reached an agreement to sell Estilo Femenino privately for $350,000.

66 Owner Profiles Averill Racing LLC

Owner: Rich Averill | Born: October 24, 1975 | Birthplace: Bradenton, FL | Residence: Bradenton, FL First Win: Fun n’ Gun, Tampa Bay Downs, 2002 | Tampa Trainers: Gerald Bennett Averill won last season's Minaret Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs with 6-year-old mare Lady's Island, a graded-stakes winner owned in partnership with Matties Racing Stable. She had been claimed two years earlier for $16,000. Averill has won four Tampa Bay Downs owners titles and two at Calder (now Gulfstream Park West). As the owner of Rich Averill Masonry in nearby Bradenton, he says he is ideally situated to enjoy the state’s year-round Thoroughbred racing program, competing both at the Oldsmar oval and Gulfstream Park in south Florida. His partners include Matties Racing Stable, CCF Racing Stable, Silver Oaks Racing Stable and Gregg Gagliardi. The Tampa Bay Downs winner’s circle was filled to overflowing in December of 2017 when then-7-year-old gelding Pay Any Price won the $100,000 Turf Dash Stakes. Averill, who owns the Florida-bred in partnership with Matties Racing Stable, shared the excitement with about four dozen family members, friends and co-workers. A stakes winner at 10, Pay Any Price is 19-for-33 lifetime and has earned more than $718,000 -- not bad for a horse Averill claimed for $25,000 in July of 2016. In March of 2017, Pay Any Price set a Gulfstream course record for 5 furlongs on the turf when he won the Silks Run Stakes in 53.61 seconds. Averill unveiled another stable star at the outset of the 2016-2017 Oldsmar meeting in Florida-bred filly R Angel Katelyn, who won the Sandpiper Stakes in her local debut. Owned by Averill Racing LLC in partnership with CCF Racing Stable and K Lauren Racing, R Angel Katelyn added the Gasparilla and the Florida Cup Stonehedge Farm South Sophomore Fillies after turning 3 years old and finished third in the Suncoast Stakes. Averill wasted little time becoming a major force in Florida racing and beyond. He became a major player on the national scene in 2005 with his 3-year-old filly R Lady Joy. After winning the Florida Oaks on the main Tampa Bay Downs dirt surface, R Lady Joy strung together four consecutive in-the-money efforts in major graded stakes, highlighted by a victory in the Grade II Delaware Oaks. She capped her run by finishing third in the historic Grade I Alabama Stakes at Saratoga. Averill enjoyed another huge thrill at the Spa in July of 2014 when his mare R Free Roll, owned in partnership with Silver Oaks Racing Stable, won the Grade II Honorable Miss Handicap, one of three consecutive stakes victories. R Free Roll is a homebred daughter of Jewels N Gems, who won a pair of stakes for Averill, including the 2006 Lightning City at Tampa Bay Downs. Other top Averill-owned horses include Paradise Dancer, who won the Grade III Kenny Noe Jr. Handicap at Calder in 2007; stakes winner and stakes-placed Rgirldoesn’tbluff; and R Sassy Lass, who won both the Sandpiper Stakes for 2-year-old fillies and the Stonehedge Farm South Sophomore, Fillies Stakes during the 2014-2015 meeting.

SF Gilbert G. Campbell (Stonehedge LLC)

Owner: Gilbert G. Campbell | Residence: Tyngsboro, MA | Farm Location: Williston, FL | Tampa Trainer: Kathleen O’Connell

Campbell’s Stonehedge LLC bred and owns the gelding Well Defined, who won the Grade III, $250,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes in 2019 under the tutelage of trainer Kathleen O’Connell. Eight years earlier, a Campbell homebred named Watch Me Go, also trained by O’Connell, scored one of the biggest upsets in track history, capturing the Grade II Tampa Bay Derby at odds of 43-1. Florida Cup Day was extra special to Campbell and his wife Marilyn in 2017, when their homebred 3-year-old colt Muggsamatic, trained by O’Connell, won the 14 Hands Winery Sophomore Turf despite being dismissed by most bettors at odds of 23-1. The Campbells were Florida Breeders of the Year in 2016. Long known as one of the Sunshine State’s leading breeders and owners, Campbell is a real estate developer in Lowell, Mass. He has been involved in the Thoroughbred industry since 1982 and has bred or raced more than 50 stakes winners, including 1996 Arlington Million winner Marlin, Blazing Sword and Ivanavinalot, the dam of two-time Eclipse Award-winning filly Songbird. Trained by O’Connell, Ivanavinalot won the Grade II Bonnie Miss Stakes at Gulfstream as a 3-year-old in 2003. In 1988, the Campbells purchased Waldemar Farm in Williston and renamed it Stonehedge Farm South. It is one of the premier full-service farms in Florida for breeding, training and breaking horses. Campbell keeps about 200 horses at the farm, including stallions, broodmares, weanlings, yearlings and lay-ups, and another 20-30 at the track. Their homebred filly, Scandalous Act, competed in the 2013 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita after sweeping all three races of the Florida Stallion Stakes series for fillies. In 1997, Campbell was honored as Outstanding Owner/Breeder of the Year in the nation by the Thoroughbred Owners’ and Breeders’ Association and Florida Breeder of the Year by the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association. Stonehedge Farm South sponsors the Sophomore Fillies Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs, one of six $110,000 stakes on the track’s annual Florida Cup Day program.

68 Owner Profiles Carole Star Stables

Owner: Bob Apicelli | Born: October 4, 1948 | Birthplace: Long Branch, N.J. | Residence: Oceanport, N.J. First Win: Precious Franca, Monmouth Park, 2016 | Tampa Trainers: Jose H. Delgado

Bob Apicelli, a retired schoolteacher, loves watching the races with his 8-year-old grandson, Sebastian. The youngster correctly selected the 1-2 finish by Authentic and Improbable in the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Keeneland; Apicelli has chosen not to think about the long-term ramifications of Sebastian’s expertise, for now. Sebastian is the son of Apicelli’s daughter, Robyn, and her husband, trainer Jose H. Delgado, who runs Apicelli’s Carole Star Stables. The outfit is named for Apicelli’s late wife, Carole, and the stable silks have three stars, representing Sebastian and his sisters, 4-year-old twins Carole and Isabella (Apicelli has three other grandchildren from another daughter). Primarily a claiming stable, Carole Star finished fourth in last season’s Oldsmar standings with 12 victories. The stable’s success helped Delgado, a former jockey from Panama, finish in a tie for fourth in the trainer standings with 23 victories. Delgado finished second at Monmouth Park with 17 winners, and Carole Star tied for third in the owner standings with six winners in Apicelli’s backyard. Among Carole Star’s top horses since its formation in 2015 is Spring Up, a gelding with almost $500,000 in career earnings.

69 Owner Profiles Godolphin Racing

Owner: Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum | Residence: Dubai, United Arab Emirates Farm Location: Newmarket, United Kingdom; Al Quoz, Dubai Sydney, Australia; Melbourne, Australia Tampa Trainer: Eoin Harty, Michael Stidham

The good times keep rolling for Godolphin, LLC. The outfit had amassed six graded-stakes victories in 2020, including the Grade I Claiborne Breeders' Futurity with Essential Quality and the Indiana Derby and Oklahoma Derby with Shared Sense. Godolphin’s record in major stakes is nothing short of remarkable. In 2019 alone, it accounted for four graded-stakes winners: Maxfield in the Grade I Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity, Old Persian in the Grade I Northern Dancer Turf Stakes, Lucullan in the Grade II Knickerbocker Stakes and Alms in the Grade III Matron Stakes. Godolphin enjoyed another Breeders’ Cup to remember at Churchill Downs in 2018, winning the Juvenile Turf with Line of Duty. Godolphin is the Maktoum family’s private Thoroughbred horse racing stable. Its headquarters are in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, but it has continued to increase its profile at Tampa Bay Downs and other tracks in recent years. Godolphin finished tied for second at Tampa Bay Downs last season with 19 winners. In 2017, Godolphin captured the Grade II Hillsborough Stakes on the Oldsmar turf course with Dickinson, a 5-year-old mare trained by Kiaran McLaughlin. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, is the driving force behind Godolphin, which is named after the Godolphin Arabian, one of the three founding stallions of the modern Thoroughbred. The family’s breeding operation, Darley, is named in honor of another of the modern sport’s original stallions. Godolphin horses have raced in 16 different countries and enjoyed consistent global success. The Godolphin operation won Eclipse Awards as Outstanding Owner in 2009 and 2012. Godolphin won the Breeders’ Cup Turf with Daylami in 1999 and Fantastic Light in 2001 and has campaigned such notable additional Grade I winners as Street Cry, Sulamani, Electrocutionist, Dubai Millennium, Discreet Cat, Music Note, Cocoa Beach, Flashing, Vineyard Haven, Girolamo and Wedding Toast.

70 Owner Profiles Lael Stables

Owner: Roy and Gretchen Jackson | Residence: West Grove, Pa. | Farm Location: West Grove, Pa. | Tampa Trainer: Arnaud Delacour

The Lael Stables operation of Roy and Gretchen Jackson has made a major impact on Thoroughbred racing since entering the sport in 2000, and the good times have continued in 2020. In February, their 5-year-old mare Jehozacat won the Grade III Lambholm South Endeavour Stakes here on the turf, three weeks after capturing the Wayward Lass Stakes on dirt. In September, 3-year-old filly Magic Attitude won the Grade I Belmont Oaks Inivitational. Both Jehozacat and Magic Attitude are trained by Arnaud Delacour. Graded-stakes victories in 2019 came with I’m So Fancy in the Grade III WinStar Matchmaker and The Great Day in the Grade III Durham Cup Stakes. Few horses have been more beloved than the couple’s Barbaro, who won the 2006 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands. The colt was severely injured in the Preakness, and although the Jacksons tried diligently to save him by sending him to the University of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center, Barbaro died the following January from complications resulting from laminitis. Their horse Showing Up, who also competed in the 2006 Kentucky Derby, concluded his 3-year-old season by winning the Grade I Secretariat Stakes and the Grade I Hollywood Derby, and Lael Stables earned an Eclipse Award as Outstanding Owner that year while winning countless fans for their grace and humanity in the light of Barbaro’s fate. Lael Stables narrowly missed winning the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint in 2018 at Churchill Downs when 4-year-old filly Chalon was nipped by Shamrock Rose in the shadow of the wire. In addition to Barbaro and Showing Up, Lael Stables has campaigned Grade I winners Precious Kitten and Check the Label. In 2015, Delacour used the Tampa Bay Downs surface to develop another promising Lael Stables homebred, Divining Rod. The colt finished second in the Grade III Sam F. Davis Stakes and third in the Grade II Tampa Bay Derby. Divining Rod went on to win the Grade III Coolmore Lexington Stakes at Keeneland before a third-place finish in the Xpressbet.com Preakness, won by Triple Crown champion American Pharoah. The Jacksons’ 190-acre farm, formerly Walnut Green, was named Lael for the Gaelic word for loyalty. They raise their young horses in Kentucky, and upon retirement many are sent home to West Grove, where they are transitioned into careers after racing. Gretchen Jackson, who has a Master’s degree in pastoral counseling, worked for more than a decade counseling children of alcoholics and drug abusers.

71 Owner Profiles Lambholm Stable

Owner: Roy S. Lerman | Born: September 6, 1943 | Birthplace: New York City | Farm Location: Ocala, FL | Tampa Trainer: Roy S. Lerman

Lambholm South owner Roy S. Lerman has been involved with Thoroughbreds as an owner, breeder and trainer for more than 40 years. In the spring of 2000, he purchased the late Allen Paulson’s Ocala-based Brookside Farms South, renaming the operation Lambholm South. Five years later, he purchased historic 1,800-acre Hobeau Farm, expanding Lambholm South’s holdings. Trainer/General Manager Junior Serna, who moved to Ocala in 1977, managed a training program that has produced such national champions as Slew o’ Gold, Personal Ensign, Epitome, Flawlessly, Azeri and Speightstown. The Lambholm South name is also familiar to Tampa Bay Downs fans because of its sponsorship of major race-day events. The Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby, a Grade II, $400,000 race for 3-year-old Triple Crown candidates, is contested each March. The 2016 version was won by subsequent Belmont Stakes runner-up Destin, while the 2017 Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby went to Tapwrit, who bettered Destin’s performance by winning the Belmont. Subsequent Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby winners include Quip (2018), Tacitus (2019) and 49-1 shot King Guillermo (2020). Lambholm South is the first title sponsor of the Tampa Bay Derby since 1986. Lambholm South also sponsors the Grade III, $175,000 Endeavour Stakes for older fillies and mares and is presenting sponsor of the track’s Festival Preview Day in February. Lerman is a successful on-track trainer; in 2015, he saddled his 4-year-old filly Evidently to win the Florida Cup Distaff Turf in stakes- record time. In 2016, Evidently rewarded Lerman with his first graded-stakes victory as a conditioner by winning the Grade III Long Island Handicap at Aqueduct. Lerman also owned and trained the graded stakes-placed mare Lentil and stakes winner Miss Matzoball.

72 Owner Profiles Live Oak Plantation

Owner: Charlotte Weber | Born: November 19, 1943 | Birthplace: Philadelphia, PA | Residence: Ocala, FL Farm Location: Ocala, FL | Tampa Trainer: Mark Casse, Mike Trombetta

Live Oak Plantation enjoyed another banner campaign in 2020, highlighted by the dramatic performance by 4-year-old colt Win Win Win in the Grade I Forego Stakes Presented by America's Best Racing at Saratoga in a driving rainstorm. Win Win Win, who set the Tampa Bay Downs 7-furlong track record of 1:20.89 in winning the 2019 Pasco Stakes, rallied from last in a field of 11 despite the conditions for his first graded-stakes victory. A pair of Live Oak Plantation homebreds used 2019 stakes victories at Tampa Bay Downs as springboards to graded-stakes success. March to the Arch, winner of the Florida Cup Touch Vodka Turf Classic, captured the Grade II Wise Dan Stakes at Churchill Downs in June. Global Access, who won the Florida Cup DRF Bets Sophomore Turf, later won three Grade III events, including the Saranac Stakes at Saratoga. The Live Oak program achieved a major milestone at Del Mar in 2017 when its then-5-year-old homebred gelding World Approval won the $2-million Breeders’ Cup Mile on the turf at Del Mar. World Approval was subsequently voted an Eclipse Award as Champion Turf Male. Making the story more amazing is that World Approval (by Northern Afleet) is out of the mare Win Approval, who also produced 2006 NetJets Breeders’ Cup Mile winner Miesque’s Approval, that year’s Eclipse Award Champion Grass Horse for Live Oak. A multiple Grade I winner, World Approval had won the Florida Cup EG Vodka Turf Classic at Tampa Bay Downs. He also won the Florida Cup Sophomore Turf Stakes here in 2015. A native of Philadelphia, Live Oak Plantation owner Charlotte Weber is the granddaughter of Campbell Soup founder John T. Dorrance. She serves as a board trustee of Campbell Soup Company. Weber is also a member of the board of trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, providing funding for the museum’s Charlotte C. Weber Galleries for the Arts of Ancient China. Her involvement in racing includes serving as a member of The Jockey Club, a board trustee of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association, a board member of the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association and a trustee of the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame. Weber received the Penny Chenery Most Distinguished Woman in Racing Award in 2005. Live Oak Stud is Weber’s Ocala-based breeding operation, with her horses competing under the Live Oak Plantation banner. Other top runners campaigned by Weber include Sultry Song, Solar Splendor, My Typhoon, Brilliant Speed, Zo Impressive, High Fly, Revved Up, Sultry Sun, To Honor and Serve and Laser Light, a Live Oak homebred who finished second in the 1982 Kentucky Derby and won the Grade I Remsen as a 2-year-old.

Harold L.Queen

Owner: Harold L. Queen | Born: February 2, 1936 | Birthplace: Heaters, W.V. | Residence: Ocala, FL Farm Location: Ocala, FL | Tampa Trainer: Gerald Bennett

The West Virginia native sold a billing and account business to get into racing in the early 1960s. Queen, who also worked for Curtis Publishing in Ohio, raced largely in the Buckeye State, where he bred and raised Thoroughbreds on a converted cattle farm. His current 82-acre operation, known as Queen Farm, is based in Ocala, where the Queens continue to turn out high-quality runners under the supervision of son Mark. They have about 45 horses on the farm, including 15 broodmares and 12 yearlings. In May of 2018, Queen’s homebred Noble Drama won the inaugural Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association Silver Charm Florida Sire Stakes for 3-year-olds at Tampa Bay Downs. One of Queen’s biggest victories came in 2001, when his Burning Roma won the Tampa Bay Derby. He had also won the Sam F. Davis Stakes. Burning Roma earned $1.5-million in his career, his biggest victory coming in the Grade I Futurity for 2-year-olds at Belmont in 2000. Queen won the 2010 Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Churchill Downs with his 4-year-old homebred Big Drama, who earned more than $2.7-million in his career. Queen campaigned still another millionaire in Florida-bred homebred Sheer Drama, a daughter of Burning Roma. Sheer Drama captured a trio of Grade I stakes: the 2015 Delaware Handicap, the 2015 Personal Ensign at Saratoga and the 2016 Madison at Keeneland. Queen later sold her for broodmare duty to Japanese interests. Burning Roma now stands at Prestige Stallions in Ocala. Gerald Bennett trains most of Queen’s runners at Tampa Bay Downs and David Fawkes is his primary trainer in south Florida.

74 Owner Profiles Bruno Schickedanz

Born: March 2, 1947 | Residence: King City, Ontario, Canada | Started Ownership: 1981 | Tampa Trainer: Robert J.W. Johnston

Few owners have enjoyed more consistent success over the years than Schickedanz, who has compiled more than 2,200 victories since entering the ownership game. He finished fifth in last season’s Oldsmar standings with 10 victories. Schickedanz tied for fourth in the 2017-2018 Oldsmar owner standings with nine victories Schickedanz is CEO of BGS Homes, builders of homes all around Ontario. He entered racing as a way to promote a sales competition within his multi-branch real estate company. The promotion offered a 10% interest in a Thoroughbred to the top producer at each branch. “I went out to buy a racehorse for my employees, and realized that I didn't have one, so I bought myself one too,” Schickendanz told BloodHorse. Since his first purchase, Schickendanz has acquired about 200 horses, 60 of which are of racing age, with about half of those being 2-year-olds. He owns Schickedanz Farm near Berry, Ontario, as well as Rising Sun Stables near Ocala, Fla. His uncle was the late Gustav Schickedanz, who raced 2003 Canadian Triple Crown winner and Horse of the Year Wando. Sermon Time was the first stakes winner for Bruno Schickedanz as an owner. Sermon Time produced Wake At Noon, a multiple-grade III stakes winner who earned more than $1.6 million and was Canadian Horse of the Year in 2002. Schickedanz has also raced stakes winners Big Ruckus, Big Virg, Effective Gal, My Heart Sez, Salty Note, Whomsoever Proud and 1995 Canadian champion 3-year-old filly and champion sprinter Scotzanna. He raced Canadian champion One Way Love, champion older horse and sprinter in 2000, in partnership with John Hillier. Schickedanz was leading owner at three meets in 1999: Gulfstream Park, Woodbine and Fort Erie.

75 Owner Profiles Winning Stables

Owner: Gerald Bennett | Born: March 12, 1944 | Birthplace: Springhill, Nova Scotia | Residence: Tampa, FL | Tampa Trainer: Gerald Bennett

With 24 total victories, alone and in partnership, Winning Stables, Inc., won its first Tampa Bay Downs Owners title in 2019-2020. Gerald Bennett, who heads the Winning Stables operation, has also won the last five Oldsmar training titles.

Iselin Handicap, Deputy Minister Handicap, Hallandale Handicap, Churchill Downs Handicap and the Olympic Stakes. Among other Bennett trainees are Secret Romeo, winner of the 2002 Super Stakes and Pelican Stakes and second to the excellent sprinter Bonapaw in the $100,000 Arlington Park Sprint Handicap; and Banker’s Jet, winner of seven stakes and more than $670,000. Bennett was a mainstay in Michigan racing, dominating the trainer standings at Hazel Park and Detroit Race Course throughout the 1980s and at Great Lakes Downs. Bennett conditioned the filly Down From Heaven to nine straight wins at Detroit Race Course from 1988 through 1989 after claiming her for $5,000. He was leading trainer in 2005 at Great Lakes Downs with 86 wins and 50 percent of his entries finished in the money. Among his many accomplishments, Bennett has won five races in one day. On May 5, 2007, Bennett escorted his trainee Bucky's Prayer to the winner’s circle after her victory in the Lightning City Stakes. Bennett’s Crimson Knight finished second in the 2011 Tampa Bay Derby at odds of 86-1. Bennett has won the last five Tampa Bay Downs training titles and six overall. The victory by his Fast Flying Rumor in the 2016 Turf Dash produced a track-record 108 Beyer Speed Figure (since bettered). His wife, Mary, is an active contributor to the operation’s success.

80 Stakes Histories Stakes Histories HOW DOES TAMPA BAY DOWNS NAME ITS STAKES?

The Naming of Tampa Bay Downs Stakes Friends from the Past The names of some stakes races at Tampa Bay Downs have obvious origins: the The Chris Thomas Turf Classic, which was discontinued after the 2009 running, (Lambholm South) Tampa Bay Derby, the Florida Cup Races, and so forth. The and returned last season with its original name, the Columbia Stakes, was Florida Oaks is named as such simply because races for 3-year-old fillies run at named for the late sports-talk radio host and Thoroughbred owner who used to classic distances are all referred to as “Oaks;” the male divisions run under the frequent the Oldsmar oval. The Sam F. Davis Stakes was named after the former much more widely-recognized “Derby” headings. The Florida Cup is comprised Tampa Bay Downs President who helped the track regain financial stability and of six races restricted to Florida-breds. The Turf Dash earned its name from the brought in a period of growth for the track. fact that it is a short race run on the lawn. However, some of the stakes races run at Tampa Bay Downs leave patrons scratching their heads and wondering, “Now, Florida Fun where did that name come from?” The explanations are quite simple… The Gasparilla Stakes is named for Tampa’s annual Gasparilla Fest, which celebrates the spirit of legendary pirate Jose Gaspar. It is rumored that Gaspar Local Color defected from the Spanish Navy in 1873. Gaspar took the pirate name The Pelican Stakes and Sandpiper Stakes are both named after animals common “Gasparilla” and set up his den off of Florida’s west coast, allegedly plundering to the Tampa Bay area; the Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas Stakes are named vessels in the Gulf of Mexico for 38 years.* for the counties surrounding Tampa Bay Downs. The Lightning City Stakes is named after the widespread, albeit unproven, idea that Tampa Bay is the Lovely Lass lightning capital of the world. The Suncoast Stakes is named for the region of The Wayward Lass Stakes is the only stakes race at Tampa Bay Downs named Florida in which Tampa Bay Downs is located; with year-round sunny weather, after a horse.

Other Notes: The 4-year-old colt Trophy Chaser made his first stakes victory a graded prize with his gutsy neck victory. It was also the first graded-stakes triumph for owner-trainer Juan Carlos Avila, who later that day saddled 49-1 shot King Guillermo for a Grade II Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby victory. The 2019 winner, Flameaway channeled his version of “déjà vu” to win the 2019 Challenger by a half-length in a determined effort reminiscent of his Grade III Sam F. Davis Stakes victory the previous season. It was the 4-year-old colt’s first victory in eight tries since the Davis. After trying Grade I competition in his four previous starts, classy 6-year-old veteran War Story rolled to a five-and-three-quarter length Challenger victory under jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr. In 2017, the 5-year-old Stanford became the first horse in track history to race the 1 1/16-mile distance in under 1:42, giving trainer Todd Pletcher a record fourth Challenger victory. The conditioner of 2016 Challenger Stakes winner Adirondack King, John Servis, trained 2004 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Smarty Jones. Servis returned to Churchill Downs in 2016 to saddle Cathryn Sophia for a Longines Kentucky Oaks victory. The 2015 Challenger winner, General a Rod, competed in all three legs of the 2014 Triple Crown, finishing fourth in the Preakness. Fort Larned used his 2012 Challenger victory as a springboard to a remarkable campaign, culminating in a Breeders’ Cup Classic victory at Santa Anita. Fort Larned also won the Grade III Skip Away at Gulfstream (in track- record time); the Grade III Prairie Meadows Cornhusker Handicap; and the Grade I Whitney Invitational Handicap at Saratoga. The Challenger started out at 1 1/16 miles on the dirt for 2-year-olds from 1987 – 1991. The 1988 Challenger winner, Storm Predictions, returned the following year to win the Tampa Bay Derby. The Challenger was contested at a mile on the turf for 3-year-olds from 1999-2003. The 2004 race was put back on the dirt for older horses. The 2006 renewal marked a track and stakes record for Cherokee Prince with Mike Allen aboard for his father, trainer Ron Allen, Sr. Another member of the Allen family, Ronnie Jr., was aboard Fort Larned in 2012. Willie Martinez has ridden three winners of the Challenger: Lee N Otto in 1991, Bold Start in 2010 and Colizeo in 2011. The 2010 Belmont Stakes winner, Drosselmeyer, finished fourth in the 2011 Challenger; he went on to win the 2011 Breeders’ Cup Classic.

Doc Boy, with Joe Bravo aboard, speeds to victory in the Columbia Stakes.

Other Notes: Doc Boy missed the stakes record by .15 seconds, staging an impressive stretch rally under top jockey Joe Bravo. A lack of seasoning didn’t hurt the Ireland-bred 3-year-old colt Digital Age, who rallied from far back in the 2019 Columbia to post a head victory under jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr. Gidu lived up to his 3-5 odds by setting a stakes record in the Columbia's second running at a mile. In 2017, Sonic Boom established a stakes record of 1:34.73 for the 1-mile turf event for 3-year-olds, which from 2000-2009 had been contested as the Chris Thomas Turf Classic for horses 3-years-old-and-upward. The race had been renamed in 2004 for Thomas, the late popular radio talk-show host who was also a Thoroughbred owner. Owner Brett Rice and trainer Don Rice won three times with Guardianofthegate in 2001, 2002, and 2003, with three different jockeys: Paula Bacon, Dodie Duys and Tommy Pompell. Restage, with jockey Jesus Castanon and trainer Thomas Proctor, was the first winner of the Chris Thomas Turf Classic when it was renamed in 2004. Proctor subsequently won the race again with Therecomesatiger in 2007 for owner Charles Patton and jockey Luis Gonzalez. Revved Up won the race twice for owner Live Oak Plantation and trainer Christophe Clement: in 2006 under Eddie Castro and in 2008 with Daniel Centeno in the irons. The winner of the 2009 Chris Thomas Turf Classic, Dinner in Odem, earned almost $450,000 in his 112-race career.

Other Notes: Jackson captured his third 2019 Tampa Bay Downs stakes victory, having won the Ocala Breeders' Sales Sophomore and the FTBOA Silver Charm Florida Sire Stakes the previous spring. The Florida-bred World of Trouble turned in a spectacular performance in the final start of his 3-year-old season, winning on a sloppy track by 13 ¾ lengths under jockey Antonio Gallardo while earning the highest Beyer Speed Figure, 109, in track history. By winning the inaugural Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association event, Mo Cash improved to 2-for-2 in Oldsmar stakes competition, having captured the Florida Cup Ocala Breeders’ Sales Sophomore Stakes eight months earlier. His conditioner, Ron Spatz, is perhaps best known as the trainer of Carterista, a multiple-Grade III winner in the early 1990s.

Other Notes: Owner Lael Stables and trainer Arnaud Delacour captured their second consecutive Lambholm South Endeavour victory in 2020 with Jehozacat, who had won the Wayward Lass Stakes on the dirt three weeks earlier. The 6-year-old Ireland-bred Hawksmoor earned her first victory since 2017 in the 2019 Lambholm South -En deavour. In the interim, she had finished second in five stakes races, including two Grade I events. The previous year, Dona Bruja and jockey Jose Ortiz shocked the compe- tition by going to the lead at the outset and rolling to a 4-length victory for trainer Ignacio Correas, IV. The connections of 2017 Lambholm South Endeavour Stakes winner Isabella Sings – owner Siena Farm, trainer Todd Pletcher and jockey John Velazquez – reached the pinnacle of the sport 12 weeks after the Lambholm South Endeavour with a Kentucky Derby victory by Always Dreaming. In 2016, Tepin flashed her Eclipse Award-winning form before an appreciative Tampa Bay Downs crowd, cruising to victory against five overmatched rivals. She had won the Breeders’ Cup Mile on the turf the previous fall against males at Keeneland en route to being voted 2015 Champion Grass Female, an honor she again received in 2016. Tepin later became the fourth Endeavour winner in five years to add the Hillsborough Stakes to her victory ledger and extend- ed her winning streak to eight with victories in the Grade I Coolmore Jenny Wiley at Keeneland, the Grade II Churchill Distaff Turf Mile at Churchill Downs, the Group I Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Ricoh Woodbine Mile. The 2015 Lambholm South Endeavour winner, Testa Rossi, became the first Grade III Florida Oaks win- ner to return to Oldsmar to win the Endeavour while providing trainer Chad Brown with his second victory in the turf test for older fillies and mares. The disqualification of runner-up Hard Not to Like from first place was the first in the history of the race. Breeder-owner Josephine Abercrombie’s Pin Oak Stud and trainer H. Graham Motion, who won with Cloud Scapes in 2014, combined in 2002 to win the Grade III Tampa Bay Derby with Equality. Cloud Scapes was the 100th lifetime stakes winner for her sire, Smart Strike. The 2013 winner, Old Tune, became the first Brazilian-bred distaffer to win the Endeavour. Old Tune’s trainer Todd Pletcher also won both races in 2007 with Cassydora. The 2012 Endeavour winner, Zagora, cemented her reputation as the nation’s top turf mare with subsequent victories in the Grade III Hillsborough and Gallor- ette, the Grade II Ballston Spa and the prestigious Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Santa Anita. She won the year-end Eclipse Award as the best in her category. Hall of Fame trainer William Mott won the Endeavour in back-to-back years: in 2005 with Delta Princess and 2006 with My Lordship. Dreaming of Anna, the 2006 Eclipse Award Juvenile Filly champion, edged Lear’s Princess by a nose under jockey Cornelio Velasquez in 2008, the first year the Endeavour was a graded stakes.

Other Notes: A 3-year-old daughter of emerging sire Kantharos, 2019 winner Wildwood’s Beauty drew off under jockey Chris Landeros for an easy triumph in her stakes debut. The 2018 winner, Florida Fuego, was bred by Ocala Stud and owned by the e Five Racing Thoroughbreds outfit of Bob and Kristine Edwards and their three children: Cassidy, Riley and Delaney. Relative newcomers to racing, they won back-to-back renewals of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf with Rushing Fall in 2017 and New Money Honey in 2016. Florida Fuego was ridden in the Stonehedge Farm South Sophomore Fillies by Javier Castellano, who won a record four Florida Cup races on the card and five overall. The 2017 winner, R Angel Katelyn, won the Sandpiper and Gasparilla Stakes that season and finished third in the Suncoast Stakes. Her co-owner, Bradenton, Fla., resident Rich Averill’s Averill Racing, also won the 2015 Sophomore Fillies with R Sassy Lass. Trainer William Kaplan and jockey Juan Leyva teamed to win consecutive editions of the Sophomore Fillies, scoring with Putitinmypocket in 2013 and Holiday Magic in 2014. Since-retired jockey Rosemary Homeister, Jr., captured the inaugural running of the race with Just Bill Me in 2003 and won again on Snow Lass in 2009. Elvis Trujillo has also ridden two winners: Dances With Ashley in 2010 and April Gaze in 2016. Before taking the race in 2017 with R Angel Katelyn, trainer Gerald Bennett had won with Moonshine Alice in 2008.

Other Notes: Charlotte Weber’s Live Oak Plantation made it back-to-back victories in this race, and four overall, with the victory by the Michael Trombetta-trained Global Access. In the closest finish imaginable, 2018 winner He’s Bankable and jockey Julien Leparoux nipped March to the Arch by a nose. What made the result fairly remarkable was that the top two finishers were both bred by Weber’s Live Oak Stud, raced by her Live Oak Plantation and trained by Mark Casse. Live Oak Plantation also won the race for 3-year-old males in 2008 with El Sultry Sun and in 2015 with World Approval, who went on to win Grade III stakes that summer at Arlington and Saratoga for Weber and Casse. Jockey Daniel Centeno has won the race three times: with Tamborim in 2009, Boy of Summer in 2013 and Ex Pirate in 2014. Popular jockey Ronnie Allen, Jr., won the 2017 edition with 23-1 shot Muggsamatic, who rallied from last place in the early going to earn the victory. The 2007 winner, Soldier’s Dancer, did the Florida breeding and racing game proud, earning in excess of $1.5-million and winning three Grade III stakes, including that year’s Calder Derby.

Other Notes: A homebred competing for owner Tracy Pinchin and trained by her husband, Jose Pinchin, 2019 winner Jackson survived a tough stretch battle to win under jockey Samy Camacho. As good as Noble Commander looked in the paddock in 2018, it was no surprise to see the son of Forestry roll to a 3-length victory for owner John C. Oxley and trainer Mark Casse, who also teamed to win the 2018 Grade III Sam F. Davis Stakes for 3-year-olds with Flameaway. The 2017 OBS Sophomore winner, Mo Cash, returned to Tampa Bay Downs late in his 3-year-old season to win the inaugural Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association Marion County Florida Sire Stakes. Imperial Hint, who won the 2016 OBS Sophomore in his second career start, won four consecutive stakes as a 4-year-old before finishing second in the TwinSpires Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Del Mar to Roy H. Trainer Edward Plesa, Jr., has won the race three times: in 2006 with Electrify, in 2009 with Bee Cee Cee and in 2014 with Prudhoe Bay. Electrify was ridden by Abel Castellano, Jr., the younger brother of Hall of Fame jockey Javier Castellano. Manicero, who won the 2011 renewal in stakes-record time of 1:22.13, captured three stakes that spring and summer at Calder in Miami.

Other Notes: The Florida-bred 4-year-old filly Crown and Sugar passed the class test with flying colors, capturing the Florida Cup event in her stakes debut un- der a strong ride by Antonio Gallardo. It was the fifth consecutive victory for the Darien Rodriguez-trained lass. The victory by 4-year-old filly Madame Uno was the fourth Florida Cup triumph on the 2018 card for jockey Javier Castellano, a new record, and the second for trainer David Fawkes. Conditioner Tom Proctor has won the race three times, all with horses owned by Glen Hill Farm: Joyful Ballad in 2005, Closeout in 2010 and Family Meeting in 2017. Speed Seeker, who won the race in 2016 in stakes-record time of 1:40.42 for the mile-and-a-sixteenth, displayed her class as a 3-year-old in 2014, winning the Grade III Ontario Colleen Stakes on the turf at Woodbine. Speed Seeker eclipsed the stakes mark set the previous year by Lambholm Stable’s Evidently, an 18-1 shot that day who developed into a Grade III winner. Few Distaff Turf winners were as popular as Hooh Why, who took back-to-back editions of the race in 2012 and 2013. The winner of the Grade I Ashland Stakes at Keeneland as a 3-year-old, Hooh Why finished her career with earnings in excess of $1.2-million. Hall of Fame trainer William Mott went back-to-back in 2006 and 2007, first winning with Thetactics Ofdance and returning with Quite a Bride.

Other Notes: Owner Live Oak Plantation captured its fourth victory in the race, with 4-year-old gelding March to the Arch turning back all challengers under jockey Tyler Gaffalione. The connections of 5-year-old Swagger Jagger got plenty of satisfaction in 2018 when the Michael Maker-trainee held on for a nose victory from Galleon Mast. No mere beast of burden, Swagger Jagger is a son of multiple-Grade II winner Crown of Thorns, who finished second in the 2009 Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Sprint. The 2017 winner, World Approval, began laying the foundation for a championship season at Oldsmar. He won four of his next five starts following the EG Vodka Turf Classic, culminated by his victory in the Breeders’ Cup Mile at Del Mar, to earn an Eclipse Award as Champion Turf Male. The first winner of the race, 2003 victor Guardianofthegate, was trained by the late Don Rice, who won eight Oldsmar training titles from 1995-2005. Owner Glen Hill Farm and trainer Tom Proctor have won the race three times: in 2004 with Restage and in 2014 and 2015 with Old Time Hockey, the latter ridden both times by Ronnie Allen, Jr. Hall of Fame trainer William Mott scored his third victory in the race in 2016 with Go Around. The Chad Brown-trained Picou set the stakes record of 1:47 for the mile-and-an-eighth in 2010. Daniel Centeno has ridden two winners of the race: Soldier’s Dancer in 2008 and Hobbs in 2013.

Extravagant Kid, outside, responds to Tyler Gaffalione’s urging to get the job done in the 2019 Sprint.

Other Notes: Extravagant Kid proved there are few substitutes for experience, winning the Sprint in his 32nd career start for trainer Brendan Walsh and jockey Tyler Gaffalione. It was his fourth career stakes victory. Multiple Grade I winner Imperial Hint lived up to the pre-race hyperbole, winning by five lengths under his regular pilot, Hall of Fame jockey Javier Castellano. It was the second Florida Cup victory for the 5-year-old, who won the Florida Cup Ocala Breeders’ Sales Sophomore Stakes in 2016 in his second career start. The gelding Sneaking Uponyou won the race as a 5-year-old and an 8-year-old for owner Jagger, Inc., trainer Jamie Ness and jockey Huber Villa-Gomez. He also finished second in the 2013 renewal as a 7-year-old. Sneaking Uponyou set a track record in 2011 that was eclipsed in the following year’s Sprint by the 4-year-old filly It’s Me Mom, whose 1:08.67 for the 6-furlong distance remains the Oldsmar standard. The 2016 winner, Catalina Red, set a 7-furlong track record (equaled by El Grande Rojo) of 1:21.40 in winning the Pasco Stakes in December of 2014 as a 2-year-old. Following his Florida Cup Sprint victory, he won the Grade II, $500,000 Churchill Downs Stakes in a sizzling 1:20.79 for 7 furlongs. Nightmare Affair won the race in 2005 and 2006 for owner Timber Side Stables, trainer Manuel Azpurua and jockey Eddie Castro; he went on to become a Grade II winner, earning more than $1.1-million in his career.

Other Notes: Outburst lived up to her favorite's status in 2020, posting a gate-to-wire victory under Hall of Fame jockey Javier Castellano. Trainer George R. “Rusty” Arnold, II, captured his second Florida Oaks victory with Concrete Rose, 15 years after winning the race with Ender’s Sister. Jockey Julien Leparoux won the race for the second year in a row and third time in the last four years. Concrete Rose subsequently became a Grade I winner. Andina Del Sur prevailed in a three-horse photo finish in 2018, giving jockey Julien Leparoux his second Florida Oaks victory in three years. Fifty Five’s winning time of 1:41.60 in 2017 was the fastest since the 1 1/16-mile Florida Oaks was moved to the turf course in 2011. Both the 2016 Florida Oaks winner and the runner-up, Baciami Piccola and Enjoy Yourself, were bred in Great Britain. Jockey Jose Lezcano won three of four editions of the Florida Oaks from 2012-2015 and has won four overall, the most of any jockey. The triumph by Quality Rocks in 2015 was the third in the race for Hall of Fame trainer William Mott, tied with Neil J. Howard for the most of any conditioner. Hall of Fame jockey Pat Day won the race three times. In 1996, the Florida Oaks attained Grade III status; it lost graded status twice in ensuing years but was graded for the 2013 edition. It was contested on the turf for the first time in 2011. Jockey Jorge Guerra won the Tampa Bay Derby and the Florida Oaks on the same day in 1996, a first-time accomplishment for any rider. Pat Day won both races in 1998; Richard Migliore won both in 2001; and Ramon Dominguez won both in 2002. Fifteen years later, Jose Oritz accomplished the feat with Fifty Five and Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby winner Tapwrit. Trainer Glenn Wismer has won the race twice, in 1989 and 1992. Secret Status, the 2000 winner, went on to win the Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs. The 2003 Florida Oaks winner, Ebony Breeze, developed into a multiple-graded stakes winner and millionaire for George Steinbrenner’s Kinsman Stable.

Other Notes: Florida-bred Two Sixty's neck victory in a thrilling five-horse photo finish capped a 4-for-4 day for jockey Edgard Zayas, including two stakes triumphs. Given her pedigree, Molto Bella’s Gasparilla victory shouldn’t have come as a huge surprise. Her dam is Dr. Zic, who won the 2008 Sandpiper Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs and captured the Grade I Vinery Madison Stakes at Keeneland as a 4-year-old. Almond Roca is owned by the Chadds Ford Stable of Phyllis Wyeth, who bred and owned 2012 Belmont Stakes winner Union Rags. R Angel Katelyn enjoyed a banner 2016-2017 season at Tampa Bay Downs, winning the Gasparilla, the Sandpiper Stakes and the Florida Cup Stonehedge Farm South Sophomore Fillies and finishing third in the Suncoast. South Africa native Gary Barber, the owner of 2016 Gasparilla winner R Girls a Charmer, is the Chairman and CEO of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and co-founder of Spyglass Entertainment. Irish Jasper, the 2015 winner, showed her Gasparilla victory was not a flash in the pan, winning the Belle Harbor Stakes at Aqueduct and the Grade III Adena Springs Miss Preakness Stakes at Pimlico. As a 2-year-old, 2014 winner Nesso finished second in stakes at Del Mar and Santa Anita before competing in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. The 2013 Gasparilla winner, Vitameta, is a daughter of Street Sense, winner of the 2007 Tampa Bay Derby (then-Grade III) and Kentucky Derby; her broodmare sire, Grindstone, won the 1996 Kentucky Derby. Salad Girl’s 2012 victory was the first triumph in a stakes worth at least $100,000 for jockey Angel Serpa, who was a finalist for a 2010 Eclipse Award as Outstanding Apprentice Jockey. The Gasparilla was open to older fillies and mares prior to 1993. Never Company won three times in a row in 1984, 1985, and 1986. In 1984, the race was run at 6 furlongs. Stonehedge Farm and trainer Kathleen O’Connell won the Gasparilla twice: in 1993 with Lindsey Lane and again in 1997 with Zesty Zoe. The Gasparilla was run at 1 1/16 miles in 1992 and was won by My Gallant Birdie in 1:47. In 2010, Diva Delite and jockey Rosemary Homeister, Jr., used a Gasparilla victory as a springboard to Florida Oaks glory. In 1994, Cavada also won the Suncoast Stakes and the Florida Oaks.

Other Notes: Florida-bred mare Starship Jubilee improved her lifetime mark to 17-for-35 while recording her fourth graded-stakes triumph in less than six months. In previous years, Chad Brown has had a strangehold on the Hillsborough Stakes. In 2019, he won it for the second year in a row and fourth time since 2012 with Rymska, a 5-year-old French-bred mare. The New York-bred Fourstar Crook won eight consecutive races from the fall of 2015 through her first graded victory in the 2017 Grade III Dr. James Penny Memorial at Parx. The 5-year-old mare Dickinson was poetry in motion in achieving her Hillsborough victory in 2017 in the second-fastest edition since the race was extended to nine furlongs in 2004. One start later, she captured the Grade I Coolmore Jenny Wiley at Keeneland, The Hillsborough achieved Grade II status and a purse increase in 2016, but the performance by the reigning Eclipse Award Champion Grass Female, Tepin, was priceless. She set a course record of 1:46.26 after trailing by at least 19 lengths on the backstretch. Tepin was the fourth mare in five years to win both the Hillsborough and the Grade III Lambholm South Endeavour. Stephanie’s Kitten’s 2015 victory paved the way for her triumph in that year’s Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf. She finished her career with $4.29-million in career earnings. Her jockey, Hall of Fame member John Velazquez, has won the Hillsborough three times, the most of any rider. Old Tune’s 2013 Hillsborough victory was her sixth consecutive stakes score. She won Brazil’s Filly Triple Crown in 2012. Her trainer, Todd Pletcher, won three previous editions of the Hillsborough: in 2006 with Ready’s Girl, in 2007 with Cassydora and in 2010 with Phola. After winning both the Grade III Endeavour and the Hillsborough in 2012, Zagora won the Grade III Gallorette at Pimlico, the Grade II Ballston Spa at Saratoga and the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Santa Anita. She also won the Eclipse Award as Champion Grass Female. She was also a Grade I winner in 2011. In 2008, Dreaming of Anna swept both the Endeavour Breeders’ Cup on Festival Preview Day and the Hillsborough on Festival Day.

Other Notes: Daniel Centeno won his third consecutive Inaugural, guiding Arkansas-bred long shot Zaino Boyz to a front-running victory. The decision to supplement Gladiator King to the Inaugural paid off for the connections of the Florida-bred 3-year-old colt, who drew off on a sloppy track. Tricks to Doo was a $600,000 purchase by Lael Stable out of the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's March 2017 2-year-olds in training sale. Trainer Gerald Bennett saddled his first Inaugural winner in 2016 in Chance of Luck, joining his son Dale Bennett, who sent out Cool Cowboy to win the 2013 edition.The 2014 Inaugural Stakes winner, Catalina Red, shattered the stakes record while rewarding trainer Chad Stewart and five-time leading jockey Daniel Centeno with their first Inaugural victories. In May of 2016, Catalina Red won the Grade II, $500,000 Churchill Downs Stakes while trained by Jorge Navarro and ridden by Javier Castellano. The 2013 Inaugural Stakes winner, Cool Cowboy, is a son of 2009 Eclipse Award-winning Outstanding Sprinter, Kodiak Kowboy. The 2012 winner, Purple Egg, was the first Inaugural Stakes winner to finish in under 1:10 since the race was shortened from seven furlongs in 1996. The fourth-place finisher in that race, Falling Sky, won the Grade III, $250,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs and finished third in the Grade II, $350,000 Tampa Bay Derby. The purse was $25,000 from 1986 through 1998; in 1999 it was run for $40,000 and in Zaino Boyz and six-time jockey champion Daniel Centeno 2000 the race was valued at $50,000. In December of 2007, the Inaugural are all alone at the finish of the Inaugural. began running for $65,000 and was raised again for the 2011 edition. The 2011 Tampa Bay Derby winner, Watch Me Go, finished fifth in the 2010 Inaugural. The 1988 Inaugural winner, Storm Predictions, won the (then)-Grade III Tampa Bay Derby in 1989 and also won the Challenger at Tampa Bay Downs and the Palm Beach Stakes at Gulfstream and the Americana Handicap at Calder.

Jean Elizabeth and jockey Albin Jimenez withstand all challengers in stakes-record time.

Other Notes: The 5-year-old mare Jean Elizabeth scored her seventh consecutive victory, all stakes, while setting a stakes record of 55.09 seconds for 5 furlongs. Miz Mayhem left Tampa Bay Downs in possession of her fourth stakes victory as a 3-year-old, winning the annual turf test for breeder-owner Laurie Plesa and trainer Edward Plesa, Jr. Her time of 55.37 seconds for the 5 furlongs on the grass was a stakes record. Although Daniel Centeno has won the Turf Dash six times, his victory on Smiling Causeway was his first in the Lightning City. Triple Chelsea, the 2016 winner, is the only 3-year-old to win the Lightning City Stakes. Richies Sweetheart’s 2015-2016 upset victory marked the third consecutive year the Lightning City winner was owned and trained by the same individual. Trainer Larry Rivelli owns the Illinois-bred mare in partnership with Richard Ravin and Patricia’s Hope, LLC (Vince Foglia). Double Secret, the 2015 winner, was owned and trained by Adolfo Exposito, who manages an eight-horse stable in the Ocala, Fla., area. Shrinking Violet (owned and trained by Wesley Ward), the 2014 winner, was a girl for all seasons and all racetracks. Her successful venture to Tampa Bay Downs for the Lightning City Stakes marked the 10th different track at which she had competed. Ward was an Eclipse Award winner as an apprentice jockey and is the son of Tampa Bay Downs trainer Dennis Ward. The 2013 winner, Smartys Emperoress, tied the stakes record in her Lightning City victory; in her only previous start at Tampa Bay Downs, she won a five-furlong allowance/optional claiming turf race in 55.42 seconds. The 2011 winner, Jenny’s So Great, was bred by pop singing star David Cassidy, perhaps best known for playing Keith Partridge on “The Partridge Family.” Jenny’s So Great was the first betting favorite to win the race since Bucky’s Prayer at the end of the 2006-07 season. Suzzona, the 2010 winner, also captured stakes at Pimlico, Monmouth and Parx. Trainer Kirk Ziadie has won two editions of the Lightning City Stakes: in 2005 with Whenthedoveflies and in 2006 with Jewels N Gems, while jockey Dean Butler has won the race twice: on Richies Sweetheart in 2015 and on Game N Laughin’ in 2008. The purse for the Lightning City was increased from $75,000 to $100,000 for the 2014 renewal.

Richest Purse: $65,000 2008 Lady's Island has plenty in reserve at the finish line, capturing her sixth victory in seven races for her local connections, Duke and Paul Matties and Rich Averill.

Other Notes: Ten years after his wife Mary Bennett sent out Perf to win the Minaret Stakes, Gerald Bennett claimed the trophy with the speedy Lady's Island. The 5-year-old mare Heavenly Score grabbed her first career stakes victory in 2019 with a determined rally for jockey Pablo Morales and trainer John P. Terranova, II. Just Be Kind was bred by John C. Oxley, who won the 2001 Kentucky Derby with Monarchos and captured the 2018 Grade III Sam F. Davis with Flameaway. Not only did Spanish Concert win the 2017 Minaret in her stakes debut, she established a stakes record of 1:09.63. It was the third Minaret victory for Kathleen O’Connell, the most of any trainer. In 2016, You Bought Her became the third horse to win back-to-back editions of the Minaret, joining Forli’s Lass (1992-1993) and Whats It Gonna Be (1997-1998). You Bought Her’s 2015 victory was the first career stakes triumph for jockey Brian Pedroza. It came four weeks after a runner-up effort in the Lightning City Stakes on the turf. Owner Sanford Bacon of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., bred 2014 winner Risky Rachel from his champion mare Dancin Renee, who died less than 24 hours earlier at Old Friends Equine Thoroughbred Retirement Center in Kentucky. Appealing Stella’s 2013 victory was the first for owner Cindy Nassal, who bred the winner with her husband Bill at their Stonecliff Farm in Ocala. It’s Me Mom and her connections celebrated New Year’s Eve in grand style in 2011, winning the Minaret by 8 ¼ lengths, the largest margin in race history. Jockey William Henry won this race three times.

Richest Purse: $125,000 2018-Present Liam's Lucky Charm powers to a Pasco Stakes victory in the fourth-fastest renewal in race history.

Other Notes: Jockey Edgard Zayas won the Pasco for the second time in four years with a strong ride on Liam's Lucky Charm, a Stonehedge LLC homebred son of Khozan. The aptly named homebred Win Win Win turned in one of the most dominant efforts ever seen at the Oldsmar oval in his 3-year-old debut in 2019, setting a 7-furlong track record of 1:20.89 while winning by seven-and-a-quarter lengths. A year earlier, World of Trouble, drew away to a 133/4- length victory despite being eased up in the final yards, missing the track record by .12 seconds. World of Trouble went on to finish third in the Grade II Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby and second in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. In the 2016 edition, jockey Daniel Centeno captured a record third Pasco Stakes victory aboard Morning Fire, who later finished third in the Grade III Sam F. Davis Stakes before traveling to Gulfstream to win the Spectacular Bid, again with Centeno in the saddle. The Pasco Stakes was contested by 2-year-olds during the 2014-2015 meeting. Catalina Red demolished the stakes and track record for trainer Chad Stewart and jockey Centeno. The 2014 Pasco winner, Mighty Brown, is a son of 2008 Kentucky Derby and Preakness champion Big Brown. Dynamic Sky’s victory in 2013 represented back-to-back Pasco scores for his connections: owner John Oxley, trainer Mark Casse and jockey Luis Contreras. Their Prospective found Tampa Bay Downs much to his liking in 2012. After his Pasco Stakes victory, he finished second in the Sam F. Davis Stakes before winning the Grade II Tampa Bay Derby. The 2009 Pasco winner, Musket Man, won the Tampa Bay Derby and Grade II Illinois Derby and finished third in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, while 2009 runner-up General Quarters scored victories in the Sam F. Davis and the Grade I Blue Grass at Keeneland. Jockey Earlie Fires, who won the 2002 Pasco on Major Focus at age 54, is a member of the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.

126 The Pelican Stakes The $100,000 Pelican Stakes

Fastest Time: 1:09.14 ACTION ANDY (2013) Slowest Time: 1:12.1 BRISCO JACK (1997) Longest Priced Winner: $132.40 ABOVE THE WIND (2003) Shortest Priced Winner: $ 2.80 X Y JET (2018) Closest Winning Margin: Nose LORD TRY ON (1993) STAR HARBOUR (2015) Largest Winning Margin: 11 ½ Lengths NOT SURPRISING (1995) Shortest Priced Loser: $ .20 IMPERIAL HINT (2019) Track Condition: Fast All except Good 1995 Sloppy 1997 Killybegs Captain and jockey Samy Camacho complete the Richest Purse: $100,000 2015-present fourth-fastest Pelican Stakes in race history.

Other Notes: The 6-year-old gray horse Killybegs Captain became the fifth repeat winner of the Pelican, joining Not Surprising (1994-95), Brisco Jack (1997 and 1999), Above the Wind (three in a row, 2003, 2005 and 2006) and Action Andy (2012-13). The upset 2019 victory by 5-year-old horse Killybegs Captain in his career stakes debut was one of two stakes triumphs on the card for owner Curragh Stables and trainer John P. Terranova, II. The 6-year-old Florida- bred gelding X Y Jet tuned up for his second consecutive runner-up effort in the Dubai Golden Shaheen, missing the stakes record by .03 seconds in the 2018 Pelican. In addition to his 2017 Pelican Stakes victory, the 4-year-old Tiger Blood – a grandson of 2004 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Smarty Jones – won the Florida Cup Hilton Garden Inn Sprint in 1:08.92, a quarter-second off the six-furlong track record. The 2016 Pelican winner, Barbados, won the Grade III Hutcheson Stakes at Gulfstream Park as a 3-year-old. Star Harbour’s sire is the late Indian Charlie, who won the 1998 Santa Anita Derby and finished third in the Kentucky Derby. Palace Barista won the 2014 Pelican in only his third lifetime start. Before setting the stakes record in 2013, Action Andy enjoyed a stellar 2012 campaign. He won the Super Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs, the Da Hoss at Colonial, the Maryland Million Sprint Handicap and the $350,000 Frank J. De Francis Memorial Dash, the latter two at Laurel. Jockey Federico Mata won four consecutive editions of the Pelican: on Secret Romeo in 2002, followed by three in a row on Above the Wind. William Henry won this race three times, twice (1994 and 1995) with the combination of Not Surprising, owner Robert Van Worp and trainer Judson Van Worp. Not Surprising’s 1995 Pelican victory kicked off a year in which he won the Eclipse Award as the nation’s top sprinter with eight victories, including four graded stakes in New York. Above the Wind was not the favorite in any of his Pelican triumphs; he paid $132.40 to win in 2003 as the longest shot in a 12-horse field. Trainer Gerald Bennett has won the Pelican three times. Jockey Daniel Centeno and trainer Jamie Ness have won the Pelican twice together: in 2008 with Lookinforthesecret and 2010 with Sneaking Uponyou. Ness won the Pelican a third time in 2011 with See I A.

Davis.

Other Notes: Sole Volante unleashed an explosive move around the far turn to leave no doubt of his superiority against six rivals. Florida-bred Well Defined turned in a sterling gate-to-wire performance to place himself on the 2019 Triple Crown trail for breeder-owner Stonehedge LLC and trainer Kathleen O’Connell. Flameaway would not be denied in the Sam F. Davis, fighting back to record a half-length victory in stakes-record time. He is owned by John C. Oxley and trained by Mark Casse, who teamed to win the 2012 Tampa Bay Derby with Prospective. McCraken lived up to expectations in 2017 by setting a 1 1/16- mile track record (bettered four weeks later) of 1:42.45. The 3-year-old colt is owned by Whitham Thoroughbreds and trained by Ian Wilkes, who won the 2012 Challenger Stakes with subsequent Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Fort Larned. In 2016, Destin became the first horse to win the Sam F. Davis and the Grade II Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby since Burning Roma in 2001. He also provided trainer Todd Pletcher his sixth Davis victory since 2006 and was the fourth Davis winner for Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez. Sam F. Davis 2015 winner Ocean Knight’s sire is Curlin, the two-time Horse of the Year and Hall of Fame member who won the 2007 Preakness and Breeders’ Cup Classic Powered by Dodge and earned $10.5-million. Vinceremos, the 2014 Sam F. Davis winner, is named for the Vinceremos Therapeutic Riding Center in Loxahatchee, Fla. Falling Sky was purchased less than three weeks before the 2013 Sam F. Davis Stakes at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company’s winter mixed sale for $425,000 by the partnership of Maurice and Samantha Regan’s Newtown Anner Stud, James Covello and Joseph Bulger. Six Tampa Bay Derby winners have won this race: Phantom Jet (1987), Speedy Cure (1991), Marco Bay (1993), Thundering Storm (1996), Burning Roma (2001) and Destin. Trainer Nick Zito has won the Sam F. Davis Stakes twice: in 2005 with Andromeda’s Hero and in 2008 with Fierce Wind. The Sam F. Davis received Grade III status for the first time in 2009, the year in which General Quarters set a stakes record. Burning Roma was owned by Clearwater’s Harold Queen, who won the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Sprint with Big Drama.

Other Notes: The trainer-jockey combination of Arnaud Delacour and Daniel Centeno made it two Sandpiper scores in a row and three in five years with Lucrezia's victory. Nothing was out of place in the 2018 Sandpiper for Fashion Faux Pas, who turned in a stylish effort on a sloppy track with Centeno in the irons for his fourth Sandpiper victory. Almond Roca flashed the speed inherited from her sire, 2004 Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Speightstown, winning the Sandpiper in stakes-record time of 1:10.01 for 6 furlongs. After concluding her 2-year-old campaign by winning the 2016 Sandpiper, the best was yet to come for R Angel Katelyn, who won the Gasparilla and the Florida Cup Stonehedge Farm South Sophomore Fillies as a 3-year-old. The 2015 Sandpiper winner, Hidden Treat, raced as a homebred for the Lael Stables of Roy and Gretchen Jackson, who campaigned 2006 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands winner Barbaro. Four months after her 2014 Sandpiper triumph, R Sassy Lass won the Florida Cup Stonehedge Farm South Sophomore Fillies Stakes. My Sweet Dove’s broodmare sire, Dove Hunt, won five Grade III stakes in his career. In addition to her record-setting 2012 Sandpiper triumph, Cor Cor won the Battle of New Orleans Stakes at Fair Grounds and the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Filly Division Sprint at Ocala Training Center. Jockey William Henry won the Sandpiper Stakes five times in seven years: with Shutrina’s Sand (1999), Star Performer (1997), Expensive Lunch (1995), Shananie’s Beat (1994), and Lindsey Lane (1993). Two of those wins (in 1993 and 1994) were with owner Stonehedge Farm and trainer Kathleen O’Connell. In 1986, the Sandpiper was run at 5 ½ furlongs; the 1982 and 1983 races were run in two divisions. In the 2004-2005 racing season, the Sandpiper was run in January; the 2005-2006 edition was carded in December, as were all subsequent editions. The late George Steinbrenner’s Kinsman Stable has won this race twice: in 2003 with Ebony Breeze (trained by William Mott and ridden by Pedro Rodriguez) and in 2008 with Unfolding Wish (trained by Dale Bennett and booted home by Carlos Montalvo). The 2008 winner, Dr. Zic, trained by Joan Scott, won the Grade I Vinery Madison at Keeneland in 2010.

Richest Purse: $150,000 2018-present

Other Notes: Lucrezia's victory was the first in the Suncoast for trainer Arnaud Delacour. Point of Honor’s victory in the “Road to the Kentucky Oaks” points race was achieved in 1:39.78, the second-fastest since the distance was set at a mile-and-40 yards in 2008. C. S. Incharge is a half-sister to trainer Dale Romans' 2016 Preakness runner-up Cherry Wine, and his 2017 Grade III Regret Stakes winner, Sweeping Paddy. Tapa Tapa Tapa’s time in 2017 was the third-fastest since the Suncoast was switched to a mile-and-40-yards in 2008. Weep No More followed her 2016 Suncoast victory by capturing the Grade I Central Bank Ashland Stakes at Keeneland. Include Betty’s 2015 victory ended a streak of three consecutive favorites winning the Suncoast. It marked back-to-back victories in the race for trainer Tom Proctor and was the third Suncoast score for jockey Rosemary Homeister, Jr. Manuka Honey’s 2013 victory was one of three Oldsmar stakes triumphs during that season for trainer John Terranova II. From 1993 to 2006, the Suncoast was run at 1 1/16 miles. It was run at about one mile in 2007 and the following year switched to its current mile and 40 yards. In 1982 and 1983 it was run in two divisions. Jockey Kevin Whitley won twice with Thou Shalt Not Lie (1993) and Cavada (1994). Flickering Match (1985) and Tasso’s Magic Roo (1998) both swept the now-defunct Tampa Bay Challenge Series, which was comprised of all 3-year-old filly races held at Tampa Bay Downs. Flickering Match was owned and trained by Carroll Barnhill of nearby Bradenton. In 2008, Vaulcluse won the race in 1:39.36, setting a new track and stakes record for the distance. Jockey Cornelio Velasquez won back-to-back editions of the Suncoast in 2005 and 2006 with Toll Taker and Crystal Current.

Other Notes: The 5-year-old gelding Admiralty Pier emerged from a three-horse photo finish to give jockey Samy Camacho his first career graded- stakes victory. Hall of Fame trainer Claude “Shug” McGaughey, III knows how to get a horse ready for the Grade III Tampa Bay Stakes. He won it in 2019 for the third time in four years with Inspector Lynley, who also won the 2017 edition. The winner's share of $115,000 in 2018 raised World Approval's career bankroll above $3-million. He is a product of breeder-owner Charlotte Weber's Live Oak Stud and the 2017 Eclipse Award Champion Turf Male. Phipps Stable (in partnership with Stuart S. Janney, III) and trainer Claude “Shug” McGaughey, III captured their second consecutive Tampa Bay Stakes in 2017, this time with their homebred 4-year-old colt Inspector Lynley. McGaughey is one of four Hall of Fame trainers to win the Tampa Bay Stakes, joining Mark Casse (World Approval, 2018) William Mott (Boastful, 2002) and Woody Stephens (Homebuilder, 1988). As a 4-year-old, 2015 winner Lochte won the Grade I Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap in 2014 and placed in two other Grade I stakes. Guys Reward, the 2014 winner, was no stranger to graded turf stakes success; in 2012, he won the Grade II Firecracker Handicap at Churchill Downs. Swift Warrior, who finished third in the 2012 Tampa Bay Stakes, won the 2013 renewal three weeks after capturing the Grade III John B. Connally Turf Cup at Sam Houston. The race was run at 1 1/8-mile until 1993, when it was run at 1 1/16. It was moved to the turf in 1999. John Callaway won twice as owner/trainer with Lord John in 1992 and 1993. Jockeys William Henry and Ricardo Lopez each won the race three times. The 1995 winner, Not Surprising, went on to be voted an Eclipse Award as Outstanding Sprinter based on eight stakes victories, including four graded New York events. Previously known as the Tampa Bay Breeders’ Cup, the race enjoyed its most exciting renewal in 2010, when Karelian and jockey Rosemary Homeister, Jr., edged Eclipse champion Gio Ponti and Ramon Dominguez by a nose. Karelian’s victory was the third in the race for trainer George “Rusty” Arnold, II. Trainer Dennis Manning won in 2009 with Victory Alleged and in 2012 with Roman Tiger.

Other Notes: The winner's circle after the 2020 Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby sported a Venezuelan flair, with King Guillermo owner Victor Martinez (the former major league slugger), trainer Juan Carlos Avila and jockey Samy Camacho sharing the homeland. Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott won the Oldsmar showcase for the second time in 2019 with Tacitus, who went on to win the Grade II Wood Memorial Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets and finish third in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve. The colt’s winning time of 1:41.90 in the mile-and-a-sixteenth Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby was a stakes record. Former Bill Mott assistant Rodolphe Brisset won the 38th Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby with 19-1 Quip, a product of Kenny Troutt's WinStar Farm operation. Trainer Todd Pletcher notched a record fifth Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby victory in 2017 and his third in a row with Tapwrit, who lowered the stakes record set a year earlier by Destin. Three months later, Tapwrit became the first Tampa Bay Derby winner to win the Belmont Stakes presented by NYRABets, the third leg of the Triple Crown. Destin was the sixth horse to win both the Tampa Bay Derby and the Grade III Sam F. Davis Stakes. Destin finished sixth in the Run for the Roses and added a second in the Belmont Stakes to Creator. The 2015 Tampa Bay Derby winner, Carpe Diem, went on to win the Grade I Toyota Blue Grass at Keeneland. In 2014, Ring Weekend rewarded trainer H. Graham Motion and jockey Daniel Centeno with their second Tampa Bay Derby victories. Motion won in 2002 with Equality, and Centeno was aboard Musket Man in 2009. Ring Weekend won the Grade I Frank E. Kilroe Mile on turf at Santa Anita as a 4-year-old on the day of the Tampa Bay Derby. The top three finishers in the 2013 Tampa Bay Derby — Verrazano, Java’s War and Falling Sky — competed in the Kentucky Derby, marking a first for the Grade II event. In 2007, Street Sense (owned by James Tafel, trained by Carl Nafzger and ridden by Calvin Borel) became the first Tampa Bay Derby participant to win the Kentucky Derby. The colt went on to win the Grade I Travers Stakes and the Grade II Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga. In 2010, Super Saver became the second Tampa Bay Derby graduate to win the Kentucky Derby, for owner WinStar Farm and trainer Pletcher, after finishing third in the Tampa Bay Derby. In 2002, the Tampa Bay Derby attained Grade III status. It was elevated to Grade II for the 2011 edition. Cefis, trained by Hall of Fame legend Woody Stephens, staged a whirlwind rally from last place to win the 1988 renewal under Hall of Fame jockey Eddie Maple.

Faction Cat and jockey Albin Jimenez turn in the fastest Turf Dash in history.

Other Notes: Faction Cat, a 7-year-old Florida-bred gelding, set a course record of 53.97 seconds in the 2020 Turf Dash. The 6-year-old horse Vision Perfect closed out his 2018 season with a bang, repelling all challengers under jockey Antonio Gallardo. The winner's circle was a festive place after the 2017-2018 Turf Dash, with co-owner Rich Averill and about four dozen family members and friends celebrating Pay Any Price's dramatic victory. Daniel Centeno probably wishes the Turf Dash be contested twice a season. His victory aboard 7-year-old gelding Power Alert was the perennial leading jockey’s sixth in the event’s 13 editions, up to then. In 2015, Centeno helped Bold Thunder to a stakes and course-record performance. Fast Flying Rumor earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 108 for his 2016 victory, the highest in Tampa Bay Downs history on either turf or dirt. With his record-shattering performance in the 2014 Turf Dash, 5-year-old gelding Ancil earned an invitation to Royal Ascot in England for his owners, Kathy Thompson of Brooksville, Fla., and Scott Farmer, and his trainer, Joan Scott. It was one of five stakes victories during the 2013-14 meeting for Centeno. Trainer Dennis Ward saddled two-time Turf Dash Stakes winner Great Attack in 2012 and 2013 for his son, trainer Wesley Ward. Great Attack won the Grade III Twin Spires Turf Sprint at Churchill Downs in 2012 on Kentucky Derby Day and competed in two editions of the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. He finished second in the 2011 Turf Dash. Great Attack is owned by Jeffrey Seder’s Houyhnhnm Stable. The Houyhnhnms were a race of intelligent horses in Jonathan Swift’s classic Gulliver’s Travels. Trainer Jamie Ness was unbeatable in this race from 2007-10, winning back-to-back with Lookinforthesecret, then saddling Castles in the Sky and Sneaking Uponyou. Centeno was aboard for the first three Ness triumphs and Huber Villa-Gomez rode Sneaking Uponyou. Bridgetown, the 2011 Turf Dash winner, was second in the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf.

Jockey Daniel Centeno wins his third Wayward Lass Stakes in four years on Jehozacat.

Other Notes: The 5-year-old Lael Stables mare Jehozacat ran her rivals into submission, winning by 5 1/2 lengths under jockey Daniel Centeno. Tapa Tapa Tapa finished second to a stakes-record performance in the 2018 Wayward Lass. She didn’t take any chances in 2019, setting a stakes mark of her own – 1:43.27 for the mile-and-a-sixteenth – to add the race to her 2017 Suncoast Stakes trophy. Not only did Daniel Centero win the Wayward Lass for the second year in a row and third time overall, he coaxed a stakes-record performance out of 4-year-old Well Humored for the mile and sixteenth. No Fault of Mine, the 2017 winner, is a daughter of Blame, who won the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Classic at Churchill Downs to deprive the great race mare and subsequent Horse of the Year Zenyatta of a perfect 20-for-20 career record. White Clover’s victory was one of two stakes scores during the 2015-2016 meeting for the trainer-jockey combination of George “Rusty” Arnold, II, and Victor Lebron, who also won the Suncoast Stakes with 3-year-old filly Weep No More. Awesome Flower’s 2015 Wayward Lass victory not only was achieved in stakes-record time, it was her fourth stakes triumph since June of 2014. Dress the Part, the 2014 winner, was 3-for-3 at Tampa Bay Downs during the 2013-14 season, all with Ronnie Allen, Jr., in the irons. Her sire, Malibu Moon, also sired 2013 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands winner Orb. The 2013 Wayward Lass Stakes winner, Janis R. Whitham’s 4-year-old homebred Magic Hour, takes a backseat to few Thoroughbreds in terms of pedigree. Her sire, Awesome Again, won the 1998 Breeders’ Cup Classic. Magic Hour’s dam Affluent won four Grade I stakes for Whitham and trainer Ron McAnally; Affluent’s sire, the great Affirmed, won the 1978 Triple Crown. Arena Elvira’s thrilling Wayward Lass victory in 2012 was her fifth consecutive stakes triumph for local owner Carolyn Wilson. Previously, Arena Elvira won a pair of stakes at Saratoga in the summer of 2011, the Grade III Turnback the Alarm at Aqueduct and the Grade II Falls City Handicap at Churchill Downs. Arena Elvira’s Wayward Lass jockey, Leandro Goncalves, won the 2011 edition on Choragus. Don’t Forget Gil, the 2010 winner, loved Tampa Bay Downs; she won the Grade III Florida Oaks in 2009. Inside Affair, owned by Harold Queen of nearby Clearwater, Fla., won the Wayward Lass in 2000 and 2001. In 1985, the first running of the Wayward Lass Stakes was at 1 1/8 miles. Queen Alexandra won both the 1987 and 1988 editions of the Wayward Lass Stakes. She was trained by George Baker.

Other Notes: The New York-bred 6-year-old mare Risky Rachel made the Manatee her sixth career stakes victory, following her earlier score in the Minaret. She eclipsed the stakes record set the previous year by Spectacular Sky. Risky Rachel is a daughter of Limehouse, which won the 2004 Tampa Bay Derby. Spectacular Sky followed up her stakes-record Manatee triumph with a solid second in the Grade II Inside Information Stakes at Gulfstream. Daniel Centeno, a five-time leading jockey at Tampa Bay Downs, won four of the last six editions of the race. The 2012 winner, Taylors Irish, scored all six of her career victories at Tampa Bay Downs. Her jockey, Pedro Cotto, Jr., won on Marina Ballerina in 2008. Jockey Eduardo Nunez won this race twice with Show No Fear in 1994 and 1995. Show No Fear made 103 career starts, winning 13 races; her back-to-back Manatee triumphs were her only stakes scores. Jockeys Ricardo Lopez and Pedro Rodriguez won the Manatee twice.

Other Notes: Owners Richard and Tammy Rigney named the 2014 Super Stakes winner after their twin daughters, Claire and Madison. In 2013, the popular 6-year-old gelding Good Lord set a track record in his victory for trainer Forrest Kaelin, who was a jockey here in 1956 when the track was called Sunshine Park. Good Lord broke the stakes record of 2006 winner Sir Shackleton, a multiple-graded stakes winner. Above the Wind (owned by the Hamco Group, trained by Ron Allen, Sr. and ridden by Federico Mata) won this race three times, from 2003-05. The 2011 winner, Capt. Candyman Can, was trained by former Carl Nafzger assistant Ian Wilkes. The 2012 winner, Action Andy, won the $350,000 Frank J. De Francis Memorial Dash at Laurel in October of 2012. Musket Man, the 2009 Tampa Bay Derby winner, returned to Oldsmar in 2010 to annex the Super Stakes.

Wildwood’s Beauty repeats her earlier victory in the Florida Cup Stonehedge Farm South Sophomore Fillies Stakes, this time under Pablo Morales..

Other Notes: Wildwood’s Beauty established a stakes record of 1:39.70 for the mile-and-40-yard distance, adding the race to her earlier 2019 victory here in the Florida Cup Stonehedge Farm South Sophomore Fillies. Six-time leading Oldsmar trainer Gerald Bennett engineered a front-running upset with help from 20-year-old jockey Jose A. Bracho, the leading apprentice during the 2017-2018 meeting who had surrendered his apprentice weight allowance six weeks earlier. Prospective Lady is a daughter of Prospective, who won the Grade II Tampa Bay Derby in 2012. The Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association Ivanavinalot Florida Sire Stakes is named for the Grade II winner who produced two-time Eclipse Award winner Songbird.

Jackson turns on the jets to power to victory in track-record time for the mile-and-40 yards of 1:38.86.

Other Notes: Jackson may have reminded some long-time observers of the race’s namesake, drawing off to win the 2019 renewal in track-record time of 1:38.86 for the mile-and-40-yard distance. The victory was one of five on the card for jockey Pablo Morales from five mounts. Noble Drama’s stirring rally resulted in the fourth stakes victory for trainer David Fawkes at the 2017-2018 meeting, all with Florida-breds. Breeder-owner Harold L. Queen bred Noble Drama from a daughter of Burning Roma, Queen’s 2001 Tampa Bay Derby winner. Fawkes has trained numerous stakes winners for Queen, most notably 2010 Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Sprint winner Big Drama. The Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association Silver Charm Florida Sire Stakes is named for the Hall of Fame champion whose victories included the 1997 Kentucky Derby and Preakness and the 1998 Dubai World Cup.
