Las Vegas, NV -- The $150,000 Grade 2 Inside Information Stakes come our way this weekend - Saturday March 17th from beautiful Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. The race will be contested over seven furlongs on Gulfstream's main dirt track and features fillies and mares four years old and upward.
11 quality entrants will go in race 10 on Gulfstream's Saturday schedule with a post time of 5:35 PM ET. The impressive field includes the reigning Eclipse Award winner as filly and mare sprinter and the top three finishers in the Hurricane Bertie Stakes on this track on February 19th. There are multiple graded stakes winners in the field as well - it should be fun!
Musical Romance - Eclipse Award winner from last year will look to rebound after a disappointing fourth last time out in the Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Sprint on January 28th. In 2011 Musical Romance won the Grade 2 Presque Isle Downs Masters Stakes and the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Fillies and Mare Sprint. Despite the poor performance (and maybe some bad luck as well) last time out; Musical Romance has to be the favorite even though she is zero for five in her starts at Gulfstream.
