Moon Over Miami
Stalker
“Moon Over Miami is the Gulfstream Park darling — a Florida-bred who's been tearing up the South Florida circuit like he was born for it. And he was, literally. Saffie Joseph has him dialed in perfectly for the GP surface, and his stalking style is tailor-made for the long homestretch. He's the local kid who made good.”
Fun Facts
- Florida-bred — one of only 2 non-Kentucky-breds in the entire GPS database
- Has never raced outside the state of Florida
- His GPS tracking shows he runs the Gulfstream Park homestretch 0.6 ft/s faster than any other segment — he loves that stretch
