It is the second race in a new stakes series that
Gulfstream is sponsoring and funding
along with the Florida Horsemen’s Benevolent
& Protective Association.
Gulfstream has an 11-race Saturday card with first post
at 1:15 p.m. Conditions are listed as fast and firm. The Weather Channel forecast is for just a five percent chance of rain during racing hours.
The Musical Romance
is the ninth race with scheduled post of 5:34 p.m.
It is part of the ten-race FHBPA/Gulfstream Park
Summer Stakes Series.
All of the races have $100,000 purses. Six are restricted to Florida-breds. Four are Florida-preferred. Those races are
open to horses from all states, with bonuses beyond the purse money for Florida-breds
that finish in the top three.
In an upcoming article we will have more
details on the Florida
HBPA/Gulfstream program.
