It’s possible that Bold N Breezy and Honor Her were buddies as kids at Pleasant Acres – Bold N Breezy is by Gunnevera and was foaled in April of 2022, while Honor Her is by Curlin’s Honor and was foaled two months earlier.
In any event, they may have had a reunion after Bold N Breezy won the second race at Gulfstream Park on Wednesday and was headed back to the barn, while Honor Her was on the way to the paddock for the third race, which she also won 20 minutes later.
BOLD N BREEZY – The 3-year-old colt bred by Joe and Helen Barbazon in partnership with Matalona Thoroughbreds, a $50,000 OBS October yearling, was glued to the hip of 9-1 shot Peppermint Man for most of the trip in a 1 1/16-mile, $30,000 starter optional claimer over the Tapeta surface. When Irad Ortiz Jr. let him out, Bold N Breezy drew off and scored by nearly four lengths. He paid $3.60 and picked up a check for $18,000 after covering the distance in 1:44.36. He’s now 2-1-0 in five starts with earnings of $41,620.
HONOR HER – The 3-year-old filly bred by Jeff Lovelady Jr. was a $35,000 Timonium May 2-year-old. With Javier Castellano aboard, she was fourth, about eight lengths off the pace heading down the backstretch in the race at five furlongs over the Tapeta surface. Castellano swung her off the inside and guided her between horses in the lane and she was up in time to break her maiden by three-quarters, clocked in :58.04. Honor Her paid $6.40 and collected $16,200. She was claimed for $17,500 by trainer Dan Hurtak.
