OLDSMAR, Fla. – Cat Park and Juliet Tango, both seeking their third straight wins over the Tampa Bay Downs turf course, top their fields Saturday in the second leg of the Tampa Test, a series of starter handicap routes for horses who have started for a claiming price of $16,000 or less in 2011-12.

The four-race series that has divisions for males and females, concludes on March 24 with a pair of 1 3/8-mile marathons. The series started with mile races on Jan. 7.

Askbut I Won’ttell had a legitimate excuse when she finished 11th at 7-2 in the South Beach Stakes on Dec. 11. She bled.

Saturday at Gulfstream Park, Askbut I Won’ttell will seek a rebound in the $150,000 Florida Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Turf, a race in which she finished second last year.

“She did bleed the last time. That impacted her performance,” trainer Chris Block said. “And maybe I didn’t have her ready to rock 100 percent last time. She’s trained well since then and seems to be coming to this the right way. I think she’ll give a good account of herself.”

Zero Rate Policy led for every jump but the last when he lost a nose decision to Apriority in the Grade 3 Mr. Prospector at Gulfstream Park on Dec. 31. With different tactics, Zero Rate Policy will look to turn the tables on Apriority in the $150,000 Sunshine Millions Sprint.

Zero Rate Policy inherited the lead when he was along the inside and Apriority stumbled in the Mr. Prospector. Prior to that, Zero Rate Policy came from off the pace to win the Sunshine Stakes here on Dec. 3.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Hamazing Destiny will make his first start since the Breeders’ Cup on Saturday in the $50,000 King Cotton at Oaklawn Park. The six-furlong race for 4-year-olds and up is the first prep on the road to the meet’s biggest prize for the division, the Grade 3, $200,000 Count Fleet Sprint Handicap.

The King Cotton drew a field of five, including River Bear, who won the $50,000 Holiday Cheer at Turfway Park in his last start Dec. 31, and Riley Tucker, who comes off a third-place finish in a Fair Grounds allowance Dec. 26.

Trainer Neil Pessin is anxious to see what kind of pace develops for Ioya Bigtime in Saturday night’s Grade 3, $200,000 John B. Connally Turf Cup at Sam Houston Race Park in Houston. The horse has used his strong kick to win 4 of 9 career starts and will be looking for his first stakes win in the Connally. The 1 1/8-mile turf race for 4-year-olds and up is the richest race of the meet at Sam Houston.

A busy 2-year-old season caught up with Long Gone last November. He won a division of the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity trials but did not run quick enough to qualify for the final.

For the last two months, new trainer Felipe Quintero has taken a quieter approach to Long Gone’s training, preparing the horse with an exercise schedule that has included swimming on a ranch in Romoland, Calif.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Little Mike has lost only one race over Gulfstream Park’s turf course and just once in his last six starts dating back to December 2010. The bad news is the horse that beat him, Teaks North, is also entered in Saturday’s $150,000 Florida Sunshine Millions Turf at Gulfstream Park.

Little Mike and Teaks North head an 11-horse field entered to run 1 1/8 miles in the Sunshine Millions Turf.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – When the California breeders opted out of the traditional Sunshine Millions program this winter, it was feared the overall quality of the event might suffer. Instead, the newly formatted Florida Sunshine Millions at Gulfstream Park – restricted solely to Florida-breds for the first time in the 10 years it has been run – has arguably come up the strongest ever, with two Eclipse Award champions and 17 graded stakes winners among the 48 horses entered in the six races on Saturday’s card.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Unzip Me is expected to skip Saturday’s $100,000 Valentine Dancer Stakes at Santa Anita in favor of Sunday’s $75,000 Wishing Well Stakes on the hillside turf course, trainer Marty Jones said on Thursday.

A nine-time stakes winner in turf sprints, Unzip Me would have been favored in the Valentine Dancer, which is run over a mile on turf for California-bred fillies and mares. Her absence makes the race easier for the remaining nine runners, and arguably a better wagering race.

The Todd Pletcher-trained Heart Butte was sidelined for nearly a year after a front-end win through slow fractions in last year’s Evening Attire. He is back at Aqueduct to defend his title in Saturday's $75,000 Evening Attire, a race redrawn after it was snowed out last Saturday.

Heart Butte returned from his long layoff with a hard-fought nose win in the Auld Lang Syne at Parx on Dec. 31 – his fourth win on dirt without a loss in blinkers.
