Soul of an Angel, dramatic winner of the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (G1) Nov. 2, and this summer’s Alabama (G1) winner Power Squeeze will line up together for the first time in the $140,000 Rampart Dec. 26 at Gulfstream Park.
Soul of an Angel, trained by 2023-2024 winter meet leader Saffie Joseph Jr. for owners C2 Racing Stable, Agave Racing Stable and Ken Reimer, drew outermost post 8 in the one-mile Rampart for fillies and mares aged 3 and up. She returned to the work tab for the first time since her 19-1 Breeders’ Cup upset with a three-furlong breeze in 38.18 seconds Monday at Gulfstream.
“She’s going to have one more work tomorrow,” Joseph said. “She’s going to go a half-mile. It’s her first race back from the Breeders’ Cup. We gave her a little freshening and hopefully this will get her back on track.”
Joseph also entered 3-year-old maiden Save Time, another private purchase by Miller Racing that owns four seconds and a third in seven prior starts and multiple stakes winner Intrepid Daydream, cross-entered in Saturday’s $140,000 Sugar Swirl at Gulfstream.
Power Squeeze, winner of the March 30 Gulfstream Park Oaks (G2), gave trainer Jorge Delgado his first Grade 1 victory in the Aug. 17 Alabama at Saratoga. The 3-year-old filly, owned by Lea Farms, preceded that effort with a win in the Delaware Oaks (G3), and last out was seventh behind Thorpedo Anna in the Sept. 21 Cotillion (G1) at Parx.
Delgado also has Unsolved Mystery for the Rampart, a 5-year-old multiple stakes-placed mare that was sixth to Soul of an Angel in the Sept. 21 Princess Rooney (G3). She was most recently second in a Nov. 24 optional claiming allowance, both at Gulfstream.
Completing the field are multiple stakes winner Charlie’s Wish; Windy Walk, riding a three-race win streak; and two-time stakes-placed Dazzling Move.
