    • Apprentice jockey Micah Husbands guided The Dove Rules (Bucchero) to victory in Friday's Race 8 feature at Gulfstream Park to earn his first career win in the U.S. A winner of 11 races in Canada, the 21-year-old native of Barbados is the nephew of eight-time Sovereign Award-winning jockey Patrick Husbands. “It's a thrill, a dream come true. I grew up watching races here, watching Joel Rosario, Mike Smith, Johnny Velazquez,” said Husbands, who closed from well off the pace to prevail over favored American of Course aboard the Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained The Dove Rules. Joseph, also from Barbados, provided Husbands with his first U.S. mount, Clay Soldier (Bucchero), who finished third in the previous race. The seven-pound apprentice, whose late father Fazal Razack rode in Trinidad, ventured to Canada when he was 15 and was eventually adopted by his uncle Patrick to hasten the process of becoming a Canadian citizen. He rode in only 22 races between July 3, 2022 and July 28, 2022, winning aboard his first and final mounts, before his student visa expired and he was not allowed on the grounds of Woodbine until the citizenship process was completed. Husbands, who galloped horses on trainer Kevin Attard's farm during that period, returned to race-riding at Woodbine this August following a two-year hiatus. He rode seven winners from 47 mounts between Woodbine and Fort Erie.   The post Apprentice Micah Husbands Notches First U.S. Win At Gulfstream appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • 4th-CD, $120K, Msw, 2yo, 6f, 7:26 p.m. ET. Well-bred MISCHIEVOUS TIME (Not This Time) makes his first start for trainer Steve Asmussen. The Whisper Hill homebred is from unraced dam Daisy Mason (Orientate), who Mandy Pope and Gainesway acquired for $475,000 during the Keeneland November Sale while Mischievous Time was in-utero. This dam is herself out of Broodmare of the Year Leslie's Lady (Tricky Creek) who prolifically produced all-conquering sire Into Mischief (Harlan's Holiday), current sire Mendelssohn (Scat Daddy) and the multiple Eclipse winning Beholder (Henny Hughes). Also set for his unveiling is Vermelho (Constitution), who was bred by Bobby Flay and taken home for $450,000 at Keeneland September by Belladona Racing. Sent to Cherie DeVaux, the colt is a half-brother to MGSW Lone Rock (Majestic Warrior) and GSW Gerrymander (Into Mischief), while his extended female family includes Hard Not to Like (Hard Spun). Trained by Bill Mott, Juddmonte homebred Atlal (Quality Road) is the first registered foal for his unraced dam Atheer (Maibu Moon). She is part of the line from champion older mare Close Hatches (First Defence).
