That Covered in Crystal and Beware of Ooh Lala were both able to win going 5 1/2 furlongs as first-time starters was a bit of a surprise to trainer Mike Trombetta. Perhaps that speaks to the quality of both horses who comprise a seemingly wide-open 11-horse field in a first-level entry allowance for 3-year-old fillies slated for 1 1/16 miles over the Gulfstream Park turf course. The featured event goes as the last of the 10-race card that begins at approximately 12:20 p.m. Beware of Ooh Lala, a daughter of Medaglia d’Oro, rallied in between horses to get up by a neck in a 5 1/2-furlong race on Nov. 21 at Laurel. Best Girl Magic, third, beaten a neck in that race, came back to win her maiden sprinting at Turfway Park in her next start. Beware of Ooh Lala is the first foal out of the mare No Trespassing, who won going a mile on turf at Gulfstream Park. “She indicates she should be a two-turn horse,’’ Trombetta said. “She doesn’t have that five-eighths-of-a-mile speed.” :: Play Gulfstream Park with confidence!

She then tried to stretch out in this condition but finished a wide fourth. “I don’t think she got the best of trips last time. I thought she was a bit unlucky,” Trombetta said. Covered in Crystal is a half-sister to stakes winner Crystal Quest, who won her maiden going a mile at Gulfstream when Trombetta added blinkers to her equipment two years ago. Trombetta is adding blinkers to Covered in Crystal on Friday. With Ruiz riding Beware of Ooh Lala, Tyler Gaffalione picks up the mount on Covered in Crystal. Silicium won her maiden in France at first asking in July. She came to the U.S. and was turned over to Will Walden, who ran Silicium in the Stewart Manor Stakes going six furlongs at Aqueduct. She broke outward from the outside post in an 11-horse field and never got involved, finishing last behind Map of the Moon, who came back to win the Gowell Stakes at Turfway Park on Jan. 1. Believe in Magic, second in the Stewart Manor, came back to win an allowance at Turfway Park. Beach Heist, third in the Stewart Manor, is a horse trained by Walden, one he thinks has a bright future. Walden said this race is a bit of an experiment to see how far Silicium wants to run. Silicium is a French-bred daughter of Zelzal, a Group 1 winner going a mile in France. “She’s built like a sprinter, but she doesn’t have the speed to be competitive going short,” Walden said. “She doesn’t have the size and stature to go long either. We’re going to try her here. I think she’ll like the Gulfstream surface. She’s been breezing well at Palm Meadows.” For her second consecutive race in the U.S., Silicium has the outside post. Backgammon tries to rebound off a fifth-place finish in the Wait a While Stakes for the red-hot Mark Casse. Call Me Precious steps up off a maiden win on Tapeta for Brian Lynch, who has also gotten off to a terrific start at the winter meet. Future Is Now retired Future Is Now, the seven-time stakes-winning female turf sprinter, has been retired from racing, trainer Mike Trombetta said. She will be bred to Constitution. Future Is Now, a Maryland-bred daughter of Great Notion, won 10 of 18 starts and earned $967,160. She won 7 of her last 9 starts for Trombetta and the Estate of Larry Johnson, her owner and breeder, who died in 2025. Johnson’s stable has kept racing and breeding under the direction of his daughters Tracy Mulroy and Kelly Caraballo. Future Is Now won four graded events, including the Intercontinental at Saratoga and the Franklin Stakes at Keeneland – both Grade 2 stakes – in 2024. She went 3 for 4 in 2025 with Grade 3 stakes wins in the Giant’s Causeway at Keeneland and the Caress at Saratoga. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
