HAL­LAN­DALE BEACH—Cham­pi­on Bar­ba­di­an train­er Saffie Joseph Jr con­tin­ued his re­lent­less march through the Gulf­stream Park sea­son in Flori­da on Fri­day, pick­ing up yet an­oth­er triple at the south­east­ern Unit­ed States oval.

The 37-year-old, the run­away cham­pi­onship leader, logged vic­to­ries in race one with favourite An­drea, in race two with an­oth­er favourite Sun­roof be­fore round­ing out his suc­cess in race six with favourite No Mo Can­dy.

With the suc­cess, Joseph shot 40 clear at the top of the stand­ings on 72 wins, with his clos­est chal­lenger be­ing Jose Fran­cis­co D’An­ge­lo on 32.

Last sea­son, Joseph racked up 66 wins in win­ning the ti­tle, fin­ish­ing 11 clear of D’An­ge­lo.

He opened his ac­count in a 5-½ fur­long sprint when Emisael Jaramil­lo car­ried the brown fil­ly An­drea to a 6-½ length crush­ing of the two-year-old maid­en fil­lies in a front-run­ning per­for­mance.

Six-to-one chance Neodera chal­lenged briefly at the half-way stage but An­drea pulled away in the stretch to win go­ing away.

Joseph’s sec­ond win came cour­tesy of jock­ey Edgard Za­yas, the ex­pe­ri­enced rid­er com­bin­ing with the five-year-old bay mare Sun­roof to post a 1-½ length win over the three-year-old and up­ward fil­lies and mares.

Go­ing a mile and 70 yards, Good Bright Flames and My Roy­al Vow du­elled through frac­tions of 25.70 sec­onds, 51.52 and 1:15.95 be­fore Za­yad bid on the far turn and reeled in the lead­ers in the stretch.

Za­yas was in the sad­dle yet again for Joseph’s third win, guid­ing three-year-old bay fil­ly No Mo Can­dy to a nar­row vic­to­ry over the three-year-old and up­ward maid­en fil­lies and mares, go­ing a mile and six­teenth.

No Mo Can­dy stalked pace­set­ter Tap My Belle, bid on the turn and grabbed the lead pass­ing the eighth pole be­fore hold­ing on to win by a neck.
