HALLANDALE BEACH - Debra Donaldson’s 4-year-old gelding Skyliner rallied from last to first into the stretch and pulled clear through the lane for a six-length decision to give his owner-trainer her first career victory Friday at Gulfstream Park.

    With jockey Wesley Henry up, Skyliner ($14.80) completed a mile and 70 yards over the all-weather Tapeta course in 1:46.73 to win the maiden claimer for 3-year-olds and up, his sixth career start, over four rivals. None were taken for the $17,500 tag.

    It was the 22nd start this year and 34th overall dating back to August 2024 for Donaldson, who said she is retired from the real estate and commercial property business. “It’s been two, three years, part-time, putting every hour I have into this, so we’re really, really happy,” said Donaldson. “We finally did it.”

    Bred in Florida by Thoroughbred Racing Nation, Skyliner began his career Feb. 22 with a pair of dirt races at Tampa Bay Downs before moving to Gulfstream for a race on the Tapeta May 16 and back-to-back turf starts with Henry, the most recent Aug. 23.

    Henry settled Skyliner at the back of the field in Friday’s race, where he trailed splits of :23.83 seconds, :47.79 and 1:13.43 before circling the field on the outside and opening up over the fast main track.

    “Who thought Skyliner would be my first win, because this horse literally trampled me almost to death a year and a half ago,” Donaldson said. “I told his owner at the time, ‘He’s maturing, he’s maturing,’ and he finally is maturing. He’s not quite so crazy anymore.”

    Donaldson is based in Ocala, but has a dozen horses this summer at Palm Meadows, Gulfstream’s satellite training facility in Palm Beach County.

    “We own Citra Oaks Farm, a five-eighths training track up in Ocala, so we started up there. It was too hard to run the horses off the farm in the summer when it’s so hot, so we came down to Palm Meadows this year,” Donaldson said. “We met Wesley Henry last year and he’s been riding for us every morning, so our horses are nice and fit,” she added. “We have 12 at Palm Meadows and we have broodmares and an American Pharoah and a Tiz the Law weanling. We’re all in.”

    Klaravich Stables’ Fully Subscribed (Tiz the Law-Sweetbaby, by Candy Ride (ARG)) added a top-level victory to her accomplished resume when she uncorked a monster performance to annex the Gr. 1, $500,000 Personal Ensign over fellow OBS grad Scottish Lassie at Saratoga Race Course, leading the slate of stakes-winning OBS graduates for the week.

    In addition to earning her first Gr. 1 victory, the daughter of Tiz the Law earned a “Win and You’re In” fees-paid berth into the Breeders’ Cup Distaff in October at Keeneland.

    “Very gratifying. She's always trained super, like a Grade 1 quality filly,” winning trainer Chad Brown said. “(She) came up a little bit short to start the season, but she's kept improving slowly and steadily, and she's a high-quality race mare. I'm so happy. She got to show her stuff and show what she can really do.”

    Fully Subscribed came into the Personal Ensign off a victory in the Gr. II Shuvee at Saratoga. She was purchased at the 2024 OBS April Sale by her owner for $300,000 from the Caliente Thoroughbreds consignment after breezing in :10 flat.

    At Charles Town, Paradise Farms Corp. and Case Chambers’ Willy D’s (Lookin At Lucky-Boston Mine, by Mineshaft) prevailed in the $1 million, Gr. II Charles Town Classic, making himself a millionaire as he improved his career bankroll to $1.5 million.

    Trained by Mike Maker, Willy D’s was purchased for $60,000 by Greg Compton, agent for Danny W. Brown at the 2023 OBS April Sale from the Woodside Ranch consignment after breezing in :22 1/5.

    At Fairmount Park, Panic Stable’s Sharons Beach (Omaha Beach—Cosmic Code, by Into Mischief) won the $250,000 St. Louis Derby by a half-length, marking the first stakes win for the 3-year-old gelding. Trained by Jonathan Thomas, Sharons Beach was purchased by his owner at the 2025 OBS April Sale for $150,000 out of the Randy Miles consignment after breezing in :21 2/5.

    At Kentucky Downs, Doubledown Stables’ Mid American (Epicenter—Wampum Girl, by Exchange Rate) solidified a strong turf maiden win with a victory in the $750,000 Juvenile Sprint, becoming the first stakes-winner for his first-crop sire, Epicenter. Trained by James P. DiVito, Mid American was purchased by DiVito as agent for $180,000 at the 2026 OBS April Sale from the Navas Equine consignment after breezing in :10 flat.

    At Gulfstream Park, Robert Wayne Jacobs and Dwight Puckett’s To the Eastside (Enticed—G Miracle, by Drosselmeyer) led every step of the way in the $100,000 Benny the Bull Handicap to earn his and trainer Andrea Puckett’s first career stakes triumph. The gelded 5-year-old son of Enticed was purchased by Andi Puckett for $3,000 at the 2022 OBS October Yearling Sale from the Abbie Road consignment.

    At Kentucky Downs, Holy Cow Stable's Seneca Park (Golden Pal--Wendy Wow, by Invasor (ARG)) won the $750,000 Untapable Stakes by a neck, becoming the first stakes-winner for her sire, Golden Pal. Bred in Kentucky by Southern Comfort Farm, Seneca Park was purchased by her owners for $70,000 out of the Top Line Sales consignment at the 2026 OBS March Sale after breezing in :10 flat.
