SUGAR SWIRL TOPS GULFSTREAM SATURDAY
Fillies and mares will travel six furlongs in the Saturday feature at Gulfstream Park, the $100,000 Sugar Swirl S. (G3). Multiple Grade 1 winner Turbulent Descent posted a fine half-mile move at Palm Meadows in her first move since the Breeders’ Cup, and the Todd Pletcher trainee looms as the one to beat if she opts for this spot. The daughter of Congrats has been a bit off form while facing some of the top one-turn fillies in America, but she’s all class and will be super tough if she goes in this spot.
Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint (G1) runner-up Dust and Diamonds, Grade 3 winner Tamarind Hall, Sacristy, who bagged the Old Hat S. (G3) here in the winter, Dream Supreme S. runner-up Hearts of Red and three-time local winner Golden Mystery, top the logical contenders list behind the likely favorite.
