Cibelli experiences a day to remember

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Monday was a memorable afternoon at Gulfstream Park for trainer Jane Cibelli – and especially her loyal backers. Cibelli sent out Dude About Town to win the sixth race at a $51.20 mutuel, then came right back to take the eighth with Nic N Jr ($47.60).

“It was a good day,” said Cibelli, a native of England who has won 610 races in an American training career that began in 1987. “The most I’ve ever won in a day is three.”

A $1 pick three that bookended the two Cibelli winners (with a 5-1 shot in the middle) returned $5,793.
