Gulfstream Park
Race 9
A quirky day of races called the Claiming Crown. This is the Tiara to be run at 8.5 furlongs on the turf. Top choice is No. 10 Irony of Reality. It’s no irony that many horses in this race will want the lead. Not the case for this five-year-old synthetic specialist who is a closing locomotive. She’s not a stranger to turf and certainly has adequate breeding to handle it. No. 11 Sugar Fix is the likely favorite given she’s won at this level. No. 9 Jost Sayin is a longshot who’s had a great year on the grass at Gulfstream.
