Trainer Victor Barboza Jr. figures to hold the upper hand when sending out the speedy Tiffany Gold and late-running Great Venezuela as the co-highweights and horses to beat in Sunday’s $70,000 Little Miss Holly overnight handicap at Gulfstream Park. The headliner lured a field of nine fillies and mares to go 5 1/2 furlongs over the Tapeta surface.Tiffany Gold has won her last two starts, both on grass, with those victories coming nearly a year apart. The daughter of Speightster led at every call to capture an overnight handicap here last May and was able to duplicate that effort when returning off the lengthy vacation to defeat high-priced optional-claiming and allowance foes in somewhat similar fashion earlier this spring.The question on Sunday is whether Tiffany Gold, who has registered four of her five career wins on grass, can repeat those efforts when returning to the Tapeta course for the first time since finishing second against allowance opposition during the winter of 2025. Tiffany Gold did register her maiden win over the synthetic track while competing under a $50,000 claiming tag as a 3-year-old in the spring of 2024.While Tiffany Gold projects to get another nice stalking trip off likely pacesetter Vindicate Cha Cha, her stablemate Great Venezuela figures to be running on strongly at the end. Great Venezuela will be making the third start of her current form cycle after being given a break by Barboza over the winter. She will also be switching back to her preferred surface.The one-time queen and undisputed leader of the local filly and mare synthetic sprint division, Great Venezuela has won seven times and failed to hit the board just once in nine careerstarts on the Tapeta. Her lone hiccup came in her 2026 debut when she finished fifth, beaten three lengths, after a bit of a flat start in the Captiva Island on March 14.Greenfield Cougar and Vindicate Cha Cha could both benefit from the change in footing in a return engagement with Tiffany Gold. The pair finished second and third, respectively, behind Tiffany Gold on the turf in their previous encounter on May 9. Both fillies are proven commodities on Tapeta, with Greenfield Cougar having won three times and Vindicate Cha Cha five times over that surface. Both remain winless this year.An intriguing new addition to the category is Miss Mary Nell, another synthetic specialist but one who will be making a rare sprint appearance after racing primarily at distances between a mile and 1 1/16 miles throughout her 21-race career. Miss Mary Nell’s only two sprint outings came in her first two lifetime starts. Both of those races were decided over the main track.The Little Miss Holly field also includes Roxy, Jokes Up, Tree C’s Kai, and Corbet’s Crush, the lone 3-year-old in the lineup. Turf racing resumes July 3Turf racing, which has been on hold the past several weeks to allow the course some time to regenerate itself, will resume on July 3 with five races in a multitude of categories in the condition book to help kick off the holiday weekend. The first stakes race on the grass is scheduled for the following afternoon, the $100,000 Soldier’s Dancer Handicap carded at a mile and a sixteenth over the inner strip.The Soldier’s Dancer will highlight a July 4 holiday card that will feature $100,000 Smile Sprint, a six-furlong race which at one time was considered not only among the premier events of the South Florida summer season but one of the major preps on the road to the Breeders’ Cup Sprint.
