These are the entries for Gulfstream park on Sunday January 8 and if you are able to decipher the cramped print, you will recognize Margano in the three spot with Edgar Prado aboard! As I predicted, it is an allowance/optional claiming race for three year olds who have only won their maiden; in other words, never won two races. And it is on the turf even though Margano has been posting some speedy workouts on the dirt.
Yes, it is interesting that Prado is aboard but it is also interesting that Pletcher has two horses in the race, one with Castellano up. Margano is top weight with Prado in the irons and is most certainly not eligible to be claimed. On paper, I would watch out for the 5 horse and the 10 horse, but Margano, along the rail in the three spot, should be sitting pretty. This will be a good test of his abilities.
Safe trip for all.
