GP-- Four Saturday Stakes, Including Second Legs of Sire Stakes

There will be four stakes races at Gulfstream Park on Saturday. 

Those races will be part   of a 13-race card with first post of 12:15.p.m.

Two of the races are the second legs of the Florida Sires Stakes (FSS) series. The races are for 2-year-old sons and daughters of Florida-based stallions whose owners have nominated them for the series.

The FSS races are the $200,000 Affirmed for males and the $200,000 Susan’s Girl for fillies.

Both races are seven furlongs on dirt.

The Susan’s Girl is the 11^th race with scheduled post of 5:30 p.m.

The ten-horse field includes Capture Your Dream and Select Friday, the winner and second place finisher in the FSS $100,000 Desert Vixen at six furlongs on Aug. 4.

The Affirmed is the 13^th race with  scheduled post  of 6:36 p.m.

There are fourteen entrants. That  includes  Cajun Firecracker, Fully Loaded and Garter and Tie. They were the first three finisher in the FSS $100,000 Dr. Fager at six furlongs on dirt on Aug. 4.

The Sire Stakes series is sponsored by the Ocala-based Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association.

The series will conclude at Gulfstream on Sept. 29 with the $400,000 In Reality  for males and the $400,000 My Dear Girl for fillies.  Both are 1 1/16 miles on dirt.

On Saturday, Gulfstream also will have two turf  stakes races for 2-year-olds.

The $100,000 Sharp Susan is for fillies and will be run at what Gulfstream calls “about 7 ½ furlongs.” It is the sixth  race.

The $100,000 Proud Man is for males and also will be about 7 ½ furlongs. It is the 12^th  race.

Both races are open to horses bred in any state. But they are “Florida preferred” in that the Florida Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association is offering  bonuses of up to $25,000 in each race for Florida-breds that finish first, second or third.

Gulfstream Park has added this coming Monday Sept. 3, which is
