Gulfstream will resume racing Sunday after flooding interruption

Gulfstream Park will resume live racing on Sunday with a 10-race program and estimated 20-cent Rainbow 6 pool of $525,000.

First race post is 12:55 p.m.

Gulfstream canceled live racing Thursday through Saturday due to record rainfall that saturated the South Florida area. The rain, caused damage and flooding in parts of Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties. It also inundated part of the backstretch of the Hallendale Beach, Fla., track, prompting officials to move about 300 horses to barns on higher ground or to the Palm Meadows training center, according to the Thoroughbred Daily News.  

Training resumed Saturday morning. The $95,000 Powder Break, originally scheduled to be run Saturday, will now be run a week later, on June 22.

Gulfstream’s Sunday program includes a $61,000 allowance optional claimer at a mile originally scheduled on the turf that will now be run on the Tapeta surface.

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

Race 9 is a 6 ½ 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.
