Joffe’s Run a Standout in Regal Gal Overnight

Andrew Rosen’s 3-year-old filly Joffe’s Run romped home an 11-length winner of the Sweettrickydancer overnight stakes going a mile on the main track on July 5 in her last start after that race was forced off turf, and comes back over the same track and distance as a likely odds-on choice in Saturday’s $55,000 Regal Gal overnight stakes.

Jockey Jermaine Bridgmohan gets a return call on Joffe’s Run for trainer Marty Wolfson as she faces five rivals her own age. A chestnut daughter of Giant’s Causeway, Joffe’s Run raced in England last year with trainer Brian Meehan before coming to the U.S. to finish 10th over a ‘yielding’ course in the Epitome Breeders’ Cup at Monmouth Park in late October.


Joffe’s Run re-surfaced in April at Gulfstream Park with Wolfson, finishing a disappointing eighth in a turf allowance, but has found a home racing on dirt in four starts since then, finishing a strong second to established older stakes mare Annabill in the Sambacarioca overnight on June 22 before her big win last out.

Completing the field for the Regal Gal are Marilyn Seltzer’s Amazing, Ariel Smith; A and P Maestre’s Stephaningrid, Manuel Aguilar; Sidney Sacks’ Tidal Dance, Carlos Olivero; and Shirley Duco’s uncoupled entry of Glotona and Exclusive Woman with Pedro Monterrey, Jr. and Eduardo Nunez to ride, respectively.
