Successful Native gets back on grass in optional claimer

A field of 10 turf-sprint specialists is scheduled to contest Sunday’s $51,000 main event, a second-level allowance/optional $50,000 claimer to be decided at five furlongs.

Successful Native, a two-time stakes winner last year but winless in 2017, should be among the favorites as he returns to the grass off a third-place effort over the main track last month at Gulfstream Park West.

Other key contenders in the main event, to be run as the 10th race on an 11-race program, include Kentucky invader Platinum Prince, the speedy Moonwalker, and Maryland invader Our Independence.
