3/4 126
Fin 115
Top 3: Noble Indy 118, Lone Sailor 115, My Boy Jack 114
Note: Lone Sailor overtook Noble Indy and led by a length with a furlong to go, but Noble Indy fought back for the win; My Boy Jack was very wide through the stretch and seemed to run out of gas after looking a likely winner

Bar None (#1)
Finally gets back on a fast track after a string of wet-track performances.
Had run competitive speed figures when in a live barn last year.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Rudy Rodriguez is 36 for 88 (41 percent, $2.79 ROI) first off the claim in dirt routes with horses running back in 60 days or fewer.

The Pace Projector is predicting a fast early pace, with speed likely to come from Grassady and Breeze Burner as well as potentially Wicked Macho and Rock Doc.
While most people will be focusing on the giant jackpot carryover in the Rainbow 6 at Gulfstream Park on Saturday, I’m most interested in playing a daily double that links races 11 and 12. Race 12 is the Grade 3 Hutcheson going six furlongs for 3-year-olds on the main track, and there’s a runner in there whom I’m particularly interested in. I’m hoping to successfully navigate my way through the 11th race and be alive in a double to him in the Hutcheson; here’s how I’ll attack the play.
RACE 11 – OPTIONAL CLAIMER
Race 8:
Shadow Rider (#5)
The Pace Projector is predicting he will get a fast pace to close into.
Was hindered by racing wide against a golden rail two back on Dec. 16.
His last race on Feb. 2 was better than it seems as he was racing in tight quarters down on the rail.
