This Ones For Phil outnosed Pashito The Che to win the $200,000 Sunshine Millions Sprint at six furlongs. This Ones For Phil, a Richard Dutrow trainee who won last year’s Sunshine Millions Sprint—then called the Dash—hadn’t raced since Nov. 28 at Laurel Park in Maryland. The 4-year-old Florida-bred Untuttable gelding, out of Heaven’s Gate, by Septieme Ciel, won that race and was shipped to Gulfstream to prepare for a winter campaign.
“It was a great horse race,” Dutrow said. “I’m glad everybody got to see it, and I’m glad we were able to win it. When he won here last year (in the Sunshine Millions Dash), it was his first start for us, so we didn’t know what to expect, but he has been breezing like clockwork and we expected him to run well today.”
