It took the racing office an extra day to finally fill Friday’s entries at Gulfstream Park. But the wait was worth it as the final product turned out to be very strong for a non-weekend card during the Royal Palm session. The program includes a trio of allowance races, the first two of which feature stakes-caliber fields. The sixth race is carded at one mile on the turf and lured a bulky field of 11, headed by Grade 1 winner Win for the Money, the multiple graded stakes-placed War Bomber, multiple Grade 3 winner Missed the Cut, and Grade 2-placed Harrow. Win for the Money, trained by Mark Casse, is winless in nine starts since upsetting the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile during the summer of 2024, although he has placed at the Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 levels during that drought. Although his Beyer Speed Figures have slipped a bit of late, Win for the Money did finish third in the Grade 3 Tampa Bay Stakes to eclipse the $1 million mark in earnings launching his 7-year-old campaign in January. He is coming off a sixth-place finish after engaging for the lead through midstretch of the Grade 3 Canadian Turf at Gulfstream on Feb. 28. :: Access the most trusted data and information in horse racing!

He hasn’t finished first since he captured a mid-level starter handicap event at Woodbine in November of 2022. He did, however, earn a victory in the interim via disqualification in a second-level allowance over the same course last fall and registered five consecutive graded stakes placings during the second half of his 2024 campaign. Missed the Cut finished third, beaten a neck for second money by Win for the Money, under similar allowance conditions as Friday’s co-feature earlier this winter. That outing came in his first start since being transferred to the barn of his current trainer, Bobby Dibona. He hasn’t seen the winner’s circle since posting back-to-back Grade 3 victories to kick off his 2024 campaign at Santa Anita. Harrow has started just once since finishing third behind Far Bridge going 11 furlongs in the Grade 2 Bowling Green last summer at Saratoga. His most notable victory came in March of 2025 in the Barbados Gold Cup, not long after joining the barn of his present trainer, Saffie Joseph Jr. “A mile is probably a tad short should for him. He will need everything to go the right way coming from behind as he does over a course that favors speed,” said Joseph, “although I fully expect him to move forward several lengths off his last race.” The conditions will be similar but the venue will switch to the main course in the afternoon’s seventh race, a one-mile test that drew a field of seven, topped by Grand Mo the First. He is likely to go postward the favorite despite having been idle since being beaten a neck in a conditioned allowance race over the turf nearly a year ago. Grand Mo the First finished third in both the Grade 3 Tampa Bay Derby and Grade 1 Florida Derby to earn himself a trip to Churchill Downs for the 2024 Kentucky Derby, where he finished a distant 18th behind Mystik Dan. He won the Bear Den Stakes and finished second in the Grade 3 Virginia Derby, beaten just a neck by Deterministic, to conclude his 3-year-old season in promising fashion. He has, however, made just one start since for trainer Victor Barboza Jr. Flying Liam and Cadet Corps, both Grade 3-placed already this year, are the most logical alternatives to those skeptical about the favorite’s chances off the layoff. Flying Liam has the hometown advantage over Cadet Corps, having registered all four lifetime wins over the local strip. Con Compania should prove the controlling speed stretching out to a mile off a pair of sprint tries to start the year and might stand some catching if able to shake loose on an easy lead. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
