A compact, but promising group of female sophomore turfers will line up for Saturday's GIII Herecomesthebride S. at Gulfstream Park.
'TDN Rising Star' Coasted (Tizway), heroine of Saratoga's P.G. Johnson S. and runner-up at 23-1 in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Santa Anita Nov. 4, launches her seasonal debut. The Treadway Racing Stable colorbearer geared up for this with a five-furlong spin over the Gulfstream lawn in 1:01 2/5 Feb. 26.
“She's been training very well,” trainer Leah Gyarmati said. “She breezed on the grass the other day. I was waiting to see how that went to see whether I might run or not. She went very, very well–came down the lane great and she galloped out well. She's doing great. We'll see how that translates into the race Saturday.”
After a failed dirt experiment, John Oxley homebred Dream Dancing (Tapit) returned to the infield with a good-looking come-from-behind optional claiming tally here Jan. 28.
The speedy India Mantuana (Wilburn) makes her first attempt for trainer Chad Brown after posting a front-running optional claiming tally for Antonio Sano at Gulfstream Jan. 21.
