Owner and trainer Elizabeth Merryman now knows that she has to aim even higher when she decides on the next start for her talented turf sprinting filly Caravel.
The 4-year-old daughter of Mizzen Mast turned in another dazzling – and winning – effort, drawing away with ease to score a 4¼-length victory in Friday night s $75,000 Goldwood Stakes at Monmouth Park.
How good was Caravel in winning for the sixth time in eight career starts? When she flashed across the finish line in a slightly eased-up :54.97 for the five furlongs on the grass she missed the 10-year-old track record by just four-tenths of a second.

Racing at Gulfstream Park
The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $950,000 Saturday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
Saturday s 12-race program, which will be highlighted by the $100,000 Suwannee River (G3) and the $100,000 Ladies Turf Sprint, will get underway at 12:10 p.m. ET.
The Rainbow 6 went unsolved for the eighth straight racing day Friday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $5,691.58.
The jackpot pool is only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day s pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.
