Honey Fox Stakes at Gulfstream Park

Las Vegas, NV -- The 29th running of the Grade 2 Honey Fox Stakes is on tap for this Sunday, March 18th from Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. $150,000 is on the line for fillies and mares four years old and upward willing to race one mile on Gulfstream's turf course.

A strong field of 13 horses has been assembled for Honey Fox. It is race 10 on Gulfstream's Sunday schedule with a post time of 5:35 PM ET. Without a true favorite in the race, the Honey Fox is wide open - any one of the 13 could emerge victorious.

Honey Fox Stakes Race Favorites

Bay to Bay - hasn't won since the Grade 2 Nassau Stakes in June at Woodbine and stumbled to close out 2011 with a fifth in the Grade 1 First Lady Stakes at Keeneland in October and an eighth in the Grade 2 Canadian Stakes at Woodbine in September. Still trainer Brian Lynch and many racing insiders feel this is Bay to Bay's race to lose.

Romacaca - most recently finished an impressive second in the Florida Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Turf on January 23rd to put her on the radar for the 2012 season. Before that Romacaca finished a very respectable third at the Ballston Spa Stakes at Saratoga in August. She has placed in 20 of 25 career starts including 12 wins (five straight to start the season last year).

Remaining Field Entries

Last year Tapitsfly won only one of seven races - an allowance at Gulfstream. In her last two starts, she has a fifth (in the Grade 2 Marshua's River Stakes on January 7th) and a fifth (at the Grade 3 Cardinal Handicap in November).
