She previously was owned by a partnership headed by Averill Racing LLC. Irish Jasper, the 2015 winner, showed her Gasparilla victory was not a flash in the pan, winning the Belle Harbor Stakes at Aqueduct and the Grade III Adena Springs Miss Preakness Stakes at Pimlico. As a 2-year-old, 2014 winner Nesso finished second in stakes at Del Mar and Santa Anita before competing in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. The 2013 Gasparilla winner, Vitameta, is a daughter of Street Sense, winner of the 2007 Tampa Bay Derby (then-Grade III) and Kentucky Derby; her broodmare sire, Grindstone, won the 1996 Kentucky Derby. Salad Girl’s 2012 victory was the first triumph in a stakes worth at least $100,000 for jockey Angel Serpa, who was a finalist for a 2010 Eclipse Award as Outstanding Apprentice Jockey. The Gasparilla was open to older fillies and mares prior to 1993. Never Company won three times in a row in 1984, 1985, and 1986. In 1984, the race was run at 6 furlongs. Stonehedge Farm and trainer Kathleen O’Connell won the Gasparilla twice: in 1993 with Lindsey Lane and again in 1997 with Zesty Zoe. The Gasparilla was run at 1 1/16 miles in 1992 and was won by My Gallant Birdie in 1:47. In 2010, Diva Delite and jockey Rosemary Homeister, Jr. used a Gasparilla victory as a springboard to Florida Oaks glory. In 1994, Cavada also won the Suncoast Stakes and the Florida Oaks. 82
