Warrior s Pride wins the Bob Umphrey Turf Sprint at Gulfstream Park.
Trainer Antonio Cioffi was understandably thrilled with Warrior s Pride s gate-to-wire victory in Sunday s $100,000 Bob Umphrey Turf Sprint at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla. but he was especially delighted to win a race named to honor the memory of the late and beloved racing official.
“I very happy to win this race, because when I came into this country Bob Umphrey helped me so much. At the time, he was the racing secretary at Calder,” said the Italian-born Cioffi, who emigrated from Venezuela in 2001. “I m proud to win this race.”
