A memorial service to honor the life of Angel Penna, Jr. will be held in the winner's circle at Gulfstream Park at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 17. Penna passed away Nov. 22 after a battle with dementia. Friends, including his longtime veterinarian Dr. James C. Hunt, will say a few words. Refreshments will be served. The day's sixth race will be named for one of the fillies he trained, Via Borghese, with the trophy presented by his late father's wife, Elinor, and his widow, Ruth.
