Some eyebrows might have raised when Runaway Diva was assigned high weight of 123 pounds for Saturday’s $75,000 Mo Green overnight handicap. After all, the well-traveled mare was coming off an average-looking fourth-place finish in the Sandy Bottom Stakes five weeks ago at Colonial Downs and had won just once in her previous 11 starts dating back to September 2024. Bettors tended to agree, sending Runaway Diva off as the third choice at odds of 4-1 in the field of seven older fillies and mares. But in the end, the local racing office proved astute after Runaway Diva, a 5-year-old daughter of Runhappy trained by Michelle Hemingway, stalked and overtook the odds-on Indy Bay to register a 1 1/2-length victory in the one-mile Mo Green. She did so despite conceding the locally based, Grade 2 winner one pound while making just her second start locally. “A one-turn mile, that’s her thing. She loves it,” Hemingway told the Gulfstream publicity after the race. “But she’s versatile. She was second in the Delaware Handicap going a mile and one-eighth in the slop. And I think she’s going to have a huge campaign this year.” Hemingway came to the United States after serving as an assistant trainer in South Africa for Michael de Kock and saddled her first U.S. winner, Manor House, at Gulfstream Park, during fall 2021. She also captured Saturday’s first race with Americandreammaker. Hemingway has won five races and finished second four times from only 16 starters thus far during the 2025-26 Tampa Bay Downs meet. Both of Hemingway’s winners at Gulfstream on Saturday were ridden by Samy Camacho, who won four races on the card and currently sits comfortably atop the jockey standings for the Royal Palm meet with 19 victories, five more than Miguel Vasquez, entering Thursday’s card. :: Play Gulfstream Park with confidence!

The 2-year-old Ford Roadster outgamed the 3-10 favorite Strike to win the second juvenile race of the local season on Sunday. Both the winner and runner-up are sons of freshman sire Roadster. “It looks like the Roadsters can run,” Alonso said in the winner’s circle after the race. “He had been training well, and we’re glad he got it done.” Ford Roadster stalked and eventually beat the odds-on favorite to register a hard-fought half-length victory under apprentice Yolber Torres. He was prepared for his successful debut at the Derby Dreams Training and Equine Center in Ocala by trainer Ramon Minguet. Light Fury refuses to retire When trainer David Fawkes and owner Robert Mooney claimed Light Fury for $6,250 on Feb. 6, it was with the original intention of retiring the 9-year-old gelding and giving him a good home after being eased to the wire that day. But Light Fury, who won 6 of 14 starts a year ago, wanted none of that. Instead, he found a familiar home, the local winner’s circle, after returning here Sunday to capture a $10,000 claiming race by a comfortable six lengths in gate-to-wire fashion. The victory was the 16th in 59 career outings for the hard-knocking veteran. For Fawkes and Mooney, it was the third time they had claimed and won with the now-synthetic specialist Light Fury since summer 2025. “We took him to retire him and give him a good home,” Fawkes said. “We walked him for a month and kind of brought him back. He’s just a neat older horse who had gone off form – an old class horse that got a second chance and won for fun.” :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
