Three first-level allowance races for Florida-breds share the spotlight Friday at Gulfstream Park. There is a $50,000 claiming option in race 2 and a $20,000 claiming option in the eighth race. The nine-race card gets under way at 12:40 p.m. Eastern. Race 2: Kitty Quick will be among the favorites in the mile and 70-yard race on Tapeta, which drew seven well-matched sophomore fillies. Trained by Jose D’Angelo, Kitty Quick is making her initial start on a synthetic surface following a victory in an open first-level allowance/$75,000 optional claimer going a mile on turf Dec. 16. The neck victory over Riding Pretty came on the heels of Kitty Quick’s win going six furlongs on dirt in a maiden special weight race for Florida-breds on Nov. 11. Riding Pretty won a similar race Jan. 12, and Miss New York, who finished third, won for the same conditions going seven furlongs on dirt Feb. 18 at Tampa Bay. A daughter of Adios Charlie, Kitty Quick was claimed out of the Dec. 16 win, and D’Angelo has a 28 percent strike rate and $1.97 return on investment with claimed horses running back the first time since 2019. She will break from the outside post with Edwin Gonzalez aboard. :: Take your handicapping to the next level and play with FREE DRF Past Performances - Formulator or Classic.  Zosterop, Luck in the Dusk, and Hihellohowareyou each has a realistic chance in the second race. Race 7: Loco Abarrio looks like the one to beat in the seven-furlong dash on the main track for 3-year-olds. He will break from the inside post in the eight-horse field with Paco Lopez up. Trained by Ronald Spatz, Loco Abarrio is coming off a win in a $50,000 starter/optional-claiming race March 24. With Irad Ortiz Jr. riding, the son of Valiant Minister sat just off the pace before dueling for the lead at the half-mile call and then drew off to win the seven-furlong race decisively. In his previous race, on Feb. 22, Loco Abarrio just missed at the same level going 5 1/2 furlongs on Tapeta with Lopez riding. Shaq Diesel, trained by Ronaldo Richards, will appreciate the class relief after not being able to keep up in the Grade 2 Risen Star at the Fair Grounds and Grade 1 Florida Derby at Gulfstream. Race 8: It is hard not to like the ultra-consistent Laniakea Storm in the one-mile race on turf. Trained by D’Angelo, the daughter of He’s Had Enough has compiled a 4-3-3 record from 12 starts and is coming off a five-length victory going a mile and 70 yards on Tapeta in a $20,000 conditioned claimer March 29. Laniakea Storm has a win and runner-up finish in two starts on turf, so she should be fine with the surface switch, and she could be sitting on another strong performance in her third start as a 4-year-old. She will break from post 9 in the 11-horse field. Edgar Perez picks up the mount from Ortiz. Riveting Spirit, trained by Carlos David, won back-to-back races at this level and distance on turf, one on Feb. 3 and one on March 3. She ran seventh and last on Tapeta in a first-level $35,000 optional-claiming race March 23. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
