HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Talk about your turnbacks. When My Boy Prince runs in Saturday’s $175,000 Gulfstream Park Turf Sprint Stakes, he will be cutting back to five furlongs after attempting 1 1/2 miles in the Grade 1 Canadian International last October at Woodbine. The chart said My Boy Prince took a funny step at three-furlong pole of the International, but truth be told, he was backing up by that point anyway. My Boy Prince was eased out of the race and did walk off the course under his own power and was none the worse for wear, according to trainer Mark Casse. “He wasn’t going to win if it was three-quarters, he just wasn’t there that day,” Casse said. “Going a mile and a half, you’d think he’d be taking off.” Sprinting, on turf or synthetic, is what My Boy Prince has done best in a career where he has seven wins and six seconds from 20 starts. He won his maiden going five furlongs on synthetic in June 2023 but hasn’t tried that distance since. In three sprints on turf in 2025, My Boy Prince won the Elusive Quality at Aqueduct and finished second in the Grade 1 Jaipur to Ag Bullet and second to Patches O’Houlihan in the Grade 2 Highlander. “Five-eighths is such a weird distance,” Casse said. “There’s a huge difference between five and three-quarters. He’s fast. He’s training well, he looks good.” :: Get Gulfstream Park Clocker Reports from Mike Welsch and the Clocker Team. Available every race day.  My Boy Prince is fast but so is Coppola, who is making his second start off a layoff a 4 1/2-month layoff in this spot. Last month, he was third to Reef Runner in the Janus. In December 2024, Coppola, trained by Dale Romans, won the Janus Stakes and came back a month later to win the Gulfstream Park Turf Sprint. He broke from post 11 in both those races and breaks from post 11 again on Saturday with Irad Ortiz Jr. up. A pace battle could set things up nicely for California invader Unconquerable Keen, a 7-year-old gelding who is coming off a neck victory in the Stormy Liberal Stakes at Del Mar, the third consecutive year he won that race. Phil D’Amato, trainer of Unconquerable Keen, said he shipped the horse here because he wants to keep him at five furlongs and races at Santa Anita are either six or 6 1/2 furlongs. And Uwish is coming off a second-place finish to the highly regarded Reef Runner in the Janus Stakes. Reef Runner skipped this race to run in Saudi Arabia next month. Out on Bail is a two-time stakes winner sprinting on turf. He is returning to turf after a fifth-place finish in the Holiday Cheer Stakes over Turfway Park’s synthetic track. Tyler Gaffalione rides from the rail. Litigation, trained by Brian Lynch, finished sixth in the Janus with a troubled trip. He is 3 for 5 sprinting on turf, those wins coming at 5 1/2 furlongs at Churchill Downs. Carousel Club Private Thoughts, an authoritative winner of the St. Augustine overnight handicap four weeks ago, figures to be tough again in Saturday’s $100,000 Carousel Club going a mile and 70 yards over the Tapeta track. Private Thoughts beat Bail Us Out by 2 1/4 lengths in the St. Augustine, rallying from fifth under Tyler Gaffalione. The 5-year-old gelding is trained and partly owned by Ronald Spatz. Horsepower, trained by Joe Orseno, is coming off a runner-up finish behind odds-on favorite Encino in the $250,000 Prairie Bayou Stakes at Turfway Park last out. He will get the services of Jose Ortiz for the first time in this spot. Jokestar, cutting back from a runner-up finish behind his Kevin Attard-trained stablemate Hammerhead in the Grade 3 Valedictory, figures to take plenty of money as he gets Flavien Prat aboard for the first time. Prevent beat Private Thoughts in an overnight handicap going this distance in November when able to dictate terms on the front end. Ciao Chuck was second in his lone synthetic try before winning a pair of turf races here last winter. This will be his first start since March for trainer Fernado Abreu, who has eight runner-up finishes (and three wins) from his first 26 starters at this meet. Classic Mo Town won the Grade 2 Eclipse Stakes over Woodbine’s synthetic track last May. He finished fourth, beaten just two lengths, at odds of 11-1 in this same race last year on Pegasus Day. South Beach Leo Toro looks to bounce back from a misstep in the Suwannee River Stakes when she returns to synthetic in the $100,000 South Beach handicap for fillies and mares going a mile and 70 yards over Tapeta. Leo Toro, who won the Ginger Punch overnight handicap on Tapeta in September, took a funny step going into the first turn of the Suwannee River on turf, bearing out and basically forcing another horse out of the race. After chasing the pace until the top of the lane Leo Toro backed up and finished 10th. “That was going to be a class test, but after she went to her face, she had no chance,” trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. said. In the Ginger Punch, Leo Toro did speed to the front from post 9. She was able to set modest fractions, but did put away an inside challenge from Lets Go Koko and an outside challenge from favored Starship Impulsive to beat that one by a half-length. Saturday, Leo Toro will get the services of Irad Ortiz Jr., who was aboard for her victory last Feb. 20 in a $35,000 claimer and was taken out of the race by Joseph. Fantasy Performer, who won the Key West overnight handicap at 9-1 with a game front-end performance, could be a pace pesterer under David Egan, especially from post 10. Awesome Czech, if she doesn’t draw into the Pegasus Fully and Mare Turf, would be trying synthetic for the first time in this spot for trainer Horacio De Paz. Awesome Czech is in excellent form, with three wins and two stakes-placings from her last five starts. She does figure to get a nice setup. It may be just a matter if she handles Tapeta. Growth Trajectory, trained by Chad Brown and ridden by Flavien Prat, is coming off an allowance win on turf on Nov. 2 as the 1-2 favorite. She too would be trying synthetic for the first time. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering? Check out DRF's Handicapping 101 and Wagering 101 pages.
