Racing Set to Resume June 16 at Gulfstream After Storms

Gulfstream Park will resume racing June 16, with a 10-race program after the track canceled racing June 13-15 due to record rainfall that saturated the South Florida area. Some Gulfstream barns were flooded. Training resumed at Gulfstream Saturday morning.

The $95,000 Powder Break Stakes, originally scheduled for Saturday, will now be run June 22.

Sunday’s card features an estimated 20-cent Rainbow 6 pool of $525,000. 

Gulfstream’s 10-race program Sunday includes a $61,000 allowance optional claimer at a mile originally scheduled on the turf that will now be run on Gulfstream’s synthetic Tapeta surface. It goes as the fourth race.

Silvretta , bred in Great Britain out of a daughter of Frankel  , is scheduled to make her fourth start in the United States for trainer Joe Orseno in the race. Her competition will include Typey , a $160,000 daughter of Accelerate  trained by Jose D’Angelo.

The ninth race is a 6 1/2-furlong allowance event on the main track for Florida-breds. One Sharp Cookie , trained by Saffie Joseph Jr., is the 5-2 morning-line favorite.
