The FL Sire Stakes – My Dear
$300.000 Two Year Old Fillies Foaled in FL
1 1/16 Miles Dirt
Gulfstream Park – November 29, 2025
In six starts Pineapple Puff has not yet finished off the board. She came home first by almost a length and not only took home her first stakes win but gave her breeder, Nakamura Stables, their first win in the FL bred race.
Winner: Pineapple Puff (Nakamura Stables/A.A. Gallardo) Huff N Puff/Pineapple Cup (Red Cup) A mile and a sixteenth at GP breaks almost right on the turn and post three gave Pineapple Puff the perfect position to set up a perfect stalking trip. She waited patiently off the pace but took charge making the lead at the top of the stretch and never really was challenged to the wire.
Second: Boldly Unbold (Mb Stables/R.M. Hernandez) Bold Ruler/Perfectly Imperfect (Tactical) Found softer coming out of three straight G1 efforts in which she ran a good second in the Frizette but it wasn’t soft enough. She ran another strong race here but never really threatened the winner. Post five breaking into the turn was not ideal and accounts for some of the losing margin but the winner was very strong on this day.
Third: Noemi (Maxmillion Farm/D.Z. Gaskin) Bold Ruler/Lost Goddess (Big Gun Stables) Forwardly placed from her ideal post and took full advantage of that. Ran a consistently strong race the whole way. Showed she can carry her speed going a route of ground.
Fourth: Bubble Bath (Maxmillion Farm/M.J. Hernandez) Demon/Crazy Girl (Worst Case Scenario) Compromised by her post she sat back and tried to make a run. Got up for the minor award but was no match for the top three in the end.
Modestly bred daughter of Huff N Puff. She was the first foal for this Nakamura home owned stallion and is, so far, his only starter which gives him a 100% batting average of stakes winners to starters thus far. Of course, there is no way that stat can be maintained but it’s fun to point out while it exists. Congrats to Nakamura in taking this race with a very nice homebred filly.
