Juvenile Racing Season Kicks Off Friday at Gulfstream

At 0h06, on April 15, 2021 • By GULFSTREAM PARK

The racing season for 2-year-olds at Gulfstream Park will kick off Friday, when a field of four colts and three fillies are scheduled to debut in a $65,000 maiden special weight event.

Carded as Race 2, the 4 ½-furlong dash has attracted several entrants with stakes pedigrees, including Noble Present, a half-sister to Ceci Valentina, a multiple-stakes winner who has earned more than $277,000. Noble Present’s owner/breeder Amalio Ruiz-Lozano and trainer Angel Rodriguez campaigned Ceci Valentina, who captured the $200,000 Florida Sire Stakes Susan’s Girl at Gulfstream, as well as Gulfstream Park West’s Juvenile Filly Sprint, in 2019.

Noble Present was sired by Noble Bird, a Grade 1 winner who earned more than $1.3 million.
