JOCKEY FLOYD WETHEY, JR., CLOSES OUT NIGHT WITH RIDING DOUBLE, TAKING FEATURED STARTER ALLOWANCE RACE WITH ONE TIME MARK

For Immediate Release
Saturday, October 17, 2026

Jockey Floyd Wethey, Jr., swept the seventh and eighth races on the card Saturday night, and that included a win in the featured starter allowance race aboard One Time Mark.

Wethey had won the previous race in the irons of Justice Department. He took that trip to the winner’s circle in the seventh for trainer Dick Capellucci and then won the featured eighth race for conditioner Isaiah Ortiz. That victory aboard One Time Mark came in a field that was expected to have 10 starters on the grass at 7-1/2 furlongs, but five horses scratched from the race despite the turf course being listed as firm. That compressed the field to five horses, but they were all solid competitors having run under allowance conditions in the past.

One of the old adages in horse racing kicked in as the longest shot in the shortest field was the winner. One Time Mark, the longest price on the board in the feature at 6-1, outlasted the rest to the wire and won by a half-length. Wethey set One Time Mark down in third place, stalking the front-runners down the backstretch and didn’t make his move until about a sixteenth of a mile to go. When Wethey stepped on the gas, he had the most horse left, outrunning Calibrate (2-1) to the wire. That runner-up was another head in front of third-place finisher Star Rock Star (3-1). Trevaggio (5-1) finished fourth and Executive Power, the early speed in the race, backed up to finish last as the 3-2 post-time favorite. That horse set the early fractions of :23.53 for the first quarter-mile, :47.05 for the half, and 1:11.08 for three quarters before One Time Mark stopped the timer in 1:29.59 at the finish. The five scratches were Aaron, Blue Light, Iowa Club, Kosari and No Trouble.

One Time Mark, a 7-year-old Kentucky-bred gelded son of Hard Spun, out of the Bernstein mare Rumbaua, paid $15.80 to win, $6 to place and $3 to show. He earned $16,200 from the $27,000 purse for his owner Dan Gleason of Sun City West, AZ. The gelding improved his record to 27 starts, five wins, 10 seconds and two thirds for a bankroll of $177,065. He was bred by Godolphin and John R. Cummins and was a $240,000 pinhooked purchase at the Ocala Breeders Spring Sale of 2-year-olds-in-training of 2021.

Live racing continues next week with a Wednesday-Saturday schedule. First post time nightly is 6:30 p.m.
