BY BROCK SHERIDAN ______

After trainer Aubrey Maragh claimed Florida- bred Unbridled Courage for $25,000 out of an optional claiming event on May 10 in which she was sixth, he quickly had enough confidence to enter her against stakes company for her first race under his care. The 6-year-old mare responded with a big effort to finish second in the $100,000 Ginger Punch Stakes at Gulfstream on June 16 but her improvement was apparently not com- plete. In her next race Saturday, Maragh had Unbridled Courage going against stakes fillies and mares again and this time, she put in a coura- geous effort to win the $75,000 Treasure Coast Stakes at Gulfstream Park. The Treasure Coast featured nine fillies and mares going a mile on the turf. With Nik Juarez aboard, Unbridled Courage went to the post as the fourth choice in the wager- ing at 4-1 behind favorite No Sweat from the Todd Pletcher barn at 2-1. Christmas Past Stakes Florida-bred Unbridled Courage/LAUREN KING PHOTO winner Lipstick City was 5-2 while Nicole’s Dream Stakes runner-up Island Reward was 3-1 among a competitive bunch. Longshot Tegla broke out on top but Vendita quickly took over from post three with Princess YEARLINGS FOR SALE Ariel and Tegla also out in front as they went into the clubhouse turn. Meanwhile Juarez had Unbridled Courage under a tight restraint and in Ocala was eighth of nine early in the race. Vendita and Princess Ariel led the field Call Cathy for appointment through a first quarter-mile in :24.11 and a half- mile in :47.60 as No Sweat moved up to chal- lenge the leaders and Unbridled Courage began 872-216-7211 passing horses on the outside as they moved around the far turn. No Sweat took the lead from Vendita turning for home as Unbridled Courage was also putting in a rally on the outside. As Vendita tired, No Sweat and Unbridled Courage locked up with three-sixteenths of a mile to run. Neither would succumb and they hit the finish with Unbridled Courage a neck in front of No Sweat in a time of 1:35.91. Lipstick City was third. “I was told she wants to go long, so I lis- tened,” said Maragh. “She’s a big, good-looking filly.” Unbridled Courage is by Leroidesanimaux (Brz) out of Unbridled Temper, by Unbridled. She was bred in Florida by Family Broodmares III LLC and she now races for owners Auricchio and Jacobson LLC/RaDon. She earned $44,640 for winning the Treasure Beach and she now has career earnings of $241,871. She has now won seven of 30 career starts. She paid $10.80 to win, $5.40 to place and $3.60 to show.

BY BROCK SHERIDAN______In his last two races, Florida-bred Always Sunshine has faced two of the top sprinters around in fellow Floridians Imperial Hint in the Grade 2 True North at on June 10; and Stallwalkin’ Dude in the $75,000 Hockessin Stakes for 3-year-olds and older Saturday at Delaware Park. Always Sunshine was fourth after being impeded by an injured Westwood in the True North won by the Imperial Hint. But Stallwalkin’ Dude did not fare as well as the 6-year-old Always Sunshine took the six furlong Hockessin by three and one-quarter lengths over his fellow Sunshine State native in second. Always Sunshine also avenged his runner-up performance behind win- ner Struth in last year’s Hockessin Stakes. The Man, who took an optional claiming race at Parx in his last race, was again quick from the start from post two with Always Sunshine and jockey Frankie Pennington joining them on the outside after breaking from post 11. Stallwalkin’ Dude was bumped heavy at the start and found himself last of seven after the leaders went the first quarter-mile in :22.77. The Man and Always Sunshine led the field of seven around the far turn as Stallwalkin’ Dude Florida-bred Always Sunshine/HOOFPRINTS PHOTO moved up to a menacing third. Always Sunshine shook free from The Man and Stallwalkin’ Dude at the top of the stretch and went on to win in a time of 1:09.99 over the track rated as fast.
