Gulfstream Park Race 9 {Sunshine Filly and Mare Turf~1 mile~TURF~4 year-old Up~Fillies/Mares~Stakes}

A nice field of nine ladies will hit the green in this affair.

Past Performances used:  Equibase.

There is enough speed to produce an honest pace. Speed figs are super close maiking it competitive. Two will run over the Turf for the first time, both should handle it well. It should be an excellent race on a sleepy Stakes Saturday.
