Gulfstream Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
BACKDOOR ROYALTY (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf, beaten 8 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so he can bounce back. MALCOLM X (5) is back from a break of six months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when sixth over 2414m at Kentucky (Turf). Sure to make his presence felt. THE GREAT OSCAR (6) was never in contention when 14 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1710m at Gulfstream Park Turf last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Gulfstream Park Turf the run before. Has the ability to take this out. BERNABEU (2) kicked off this prep with a win three weeks ago, scoring over 1673m at this track. Sure to measure up.
