Tom Keyser Hard Not to Like will face a stakes-caliber field in Friday's optional claiming feature at Gulfstream Park.
Hard Not to Like, idle since her seventh-place finish in the Grade 1 Spinster on Oct. 6, will return to the turf to launch her 2014 campaign under allowance conditions at Gulfstream Park in Friday’s $54,500 main event carded at 1 1/16 miles on the grass.
Hard Not to Like is no stranger to the local course, having won the Grade 3 Marshua’s River here last winter. She was also Grade 1-placed at 3, finishing second in the Ashland as a prelude to her sixth-place finish in the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks.
Hard Not to Like will face a stakes-caliber field that also includes key contenders Reconnect, Street Gem, Unbelievable Dream, Floral Romance, and Millennia.
