Wallace R. Moore Jr.’s Ashima and jockey Emisael Jaramillo led at every pole in winning the $75,000 Sunshine Filly and Mare Turf by a length-and-a-quarter for her first career stakes victory. The dark bay or brown filly trained by Salvatore Santoro defeated six other Florida-bred fillies and mares, 4-years-old and older, over a mile on the turf.

Winning for the first time since taking the 2023 Carry Back at Gulfstream Park, JC Racing Stables LLC’s Lightning Tones circled the field in the turn then ran down frontrunning Shaq Diesel in deep stretch to take the $75,000 Sunshine Classic at Hallandale Beach oval Saturday. Trained by Carlos Narvaez and ridden by Jorge Ruiz, Lightning Tones outlasted six Florida-breds, 4-years-old and older, going a mile-and-a-sixteenth on the fast track.
