Sunday Insights: Curlin Filly Draws The Rail For Gulfstream Debut

Wait 5 sec.

7th-GP, 84K, Msw, 3yo, f, 1m, 3:18 p.m.The Danny Gargan-trained SONG OF SARAH (Curlin) makes her Gulfstream Park debut Sunday for owners CSLR Racing Partners, R. A. Hill Stable and Belmar Racing and Breeding. The $140,000 Keeneland September yearling turned $500,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Sale grad of last year is the latest foal out of Canadian Champion Older Mare Embur's Song who banked north of $616,000 in her own racing career including a track record-setting score in Keeneland's GIII Hilliard Lyons Doubledogdare Stakes. Embur's Song is also a half-sister to the stakes-placed dam of MGISW and sire Exaggerator (Curlin). Song of Sarah drew the rail in this one-turn mile and gets Hall of Famer John Velazquez aboard.Making her second start and looking to go one better is Paradise (Gun Runner), a daughter of MGSW/MGISP Venetian Harbor. Picked up for $700,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale as a yearling, Paradise debuted in a six-furlong spot at Churchill Downs Nov. 13 where she broke at the back but finished up nicely to run second 1 1/4 lengths behind the winner. Brad Cox will give the leg up to Edgard Zayas who replaces jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. Sunday.
