Trainer Bio

 

  Jose Garoffalo Jr. is a native of Venezuela, who grew up working with racehorses on a farm in Venezuela owned by his father Jose Garoffolo Sr. Founded in the early 1980s, Haras Bucaral boasted a band of around 40 broodmares, many of which Garoffalo bought on his father's behalf in the United States and then shipped back to Venezuela. The two bred a number of stakes winners over the years, selling much of the offspring as yearlings at auction in Venezuela. 

  Jose attended trainer school and law school in Venezuela, graduating from both in 1988. He then trained a string of horses at La Rinconada racetrack in Caracas.  Jose came to Florida permanently in 1998 and now trains full time at Gulfstream Park. 

  Garoffalo has trained multiple stakes winners with his most notable horse being Wildcat Red, a winner of four stakes and $1,066,875. He won Fountain of Youth (G2), Hutcheson Stakes (G3) and was a game runner-up in the Grade 1 Florida Derby.  In 2012, he trained the filly, Yara to a Grade 2 victory in the Davona Dale Stakes. Also, Amazing Speed, a five-time stakes winner at Calder in 2006-2007.

  Jose keeps about 30 horses at Gulfstream Park year round.
