The 4-year-old Kentucky-bred lly by Midnight Lute
- Moneybru, by Talk is Money, began her career in California before owners, Little Red Feather Racing, shipped her to Julia at Woodbine in June 2015. She won the 2015 La Lorgnette Stakes and in 2016 scored back to back G3 Stakes wins in the Ontario Matron and the Seaway.
Midnight Miley along with stable mates 3YO lly Cape Mist, owned by Julia and partner Discovery Racing; 5YO mare, Alilaction, owned by Gerald Martin; and 3YO gelding, Conscious Decision, owned by Calico Racing Stable, shipped to Gulfstream Park to race where Julia has six stalls this winter. Two other young horses from Ocala will be starting up at Gulfstream this winter.
Sergio has been an exercise rider with Julia Carey for the past 7 years and he also looks after his own horse at the track, Royal Del Mar. Sergio purchased the Ontario-bred lly by War Cry - Royal Dalliance, by Tejabo out of the CTHS 2014 Yearling Sale. Unraced at two, the now 3 year-old placed in 4 of her seven starts including a maiden breaking win on October
10 in 2016. Sergio plans to ride at farms for a few months during the winter. When Woodbine reopens he will bring in the horses for Julia until she returns from Florida.
Israel has been working for Julia this past year after many years as a groom for Adena Springs and has plans to take a break this winter.
