On Saturday, May 9, 2020, Halladay, a four-year-old War Front colt, made a stunning display in the $75,000 Sunshine Forever at Gulfstream Park, Florida.
Trained by Todd Pletcher and owned by Harrell Ventures, Halladay was never headed in his quest for $75,000, covering just over a mile in a dominating performance.
With a 1:38:6/10 second swoop, Halladay missed out on a record set in 2015, but still managed to impress with his speed and agility.
War of Will, a 2019 Preakness Stakes winner, was entered in the Sunshine Forever but was scratched early morning, leaving Halladay to contend with Aquaphobia and Social Paranoia.
Despite the competition, Halladay remained undefeated in three starts over Gulfstream Park's turf course, showcasing his exceptional racing skills.
Meanwhile, in Europe, top-class racing returned with the Group 3 Prix de Saint-Georges at Longchamp, where French jockey Maxime Guyon rode Batwan to victory.
