California-based trainer Kristin Mulhall will send a string of horses to
South Florida for the first time for Gulfstream Park’s summer race meet.
“I have a few owners (in South Florida) that want to race there,” Mulhall
said. “Timing-wise, with the opening of Del Mar, it works out. With the amount
of stalls I have there, I’m going to need a second string somewhere, and they
convinced me to come.”
Mulhall will have 12 horses at Gulfstream. The group — “everything from
maiden special weights to allowance types” — will arrive over the course of the
next three weeks.
A daughter of late Grade 1-winning trainer and well known racing manager
Richard Mulhall, she is bringing an entire crew to Gulfstream from California.
She plans to base herself in South Florida to get her stable up and running
before regularly traveling back and forth between her east and west coast bases
to oversee both operations. She will make her cross-country road trip to
Hallandale in the coming days.
“I’m coming to start off with, and then a couple of my foremen from here in
California are going to come,” she said. “Then I’m probably going to be coming
in once a week or once every other week, so I’ll be there quite a bit.
“I’m driving all my equipment there, and I’m going to get all my guys set up
and organized, and then I’m going to fly back to Del Mar for opening week, and
I’ll be back (at Gulfstream) the following Monday or Tuesday.
“I’m hoping to see how it goes there, and hopefully I’ll be able to grow (my
stable) there and have a stable on both sides,” Mulhall added. “I’m looking
forward to being there.”
