HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Trainer Mark Hennig said he is in no rush to bring his Grade 3 stakes-winning turf specialist Summersault back to the races, despite the fact she looked very sharp working six furlongs in 1:12.71 over the turf here Sunday. Summersault, winner of the Grade 3 Orchid here last winter, has not started since finishing fourth in the Grade 3 Long Island Handicap on Nov. 4 at Aqueduct.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Heart to Heart will attempt to make amends for the only blemish on his local record when he tops Saturday’s Grade 2 Fort Lauderdale.

Heart to Heart will be making his first start since a 10th-place finish in the Breeders’ Cup Mile.
