Heavy rain and a forecast for continued thunderstorms throughout the afternoon caused Gulfstream Park to cancel the balance of its nine-race program following the second race Oct. 10. The South Florida track said the decision was made out of an abundance of caution for horses, horsemen, and fans.
Overnight rain on Thursday forced each of Friday's three races scheduled for the turf to be moved to the all-weather Tapeta course. Peacethrustrength ($5) won the opener, a 3-year-old and up maiden claimer on Tapeta for Sunshine Meet leading trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. Carlos David-trained Carentan ($6) took Race 2 for claimers 3 and older, also on Tapeta.
Post time for the first of 11 races Saturday is 12:50 p.m. ET
