Notes:
Hansen
is the 6-5 favorite versus five rivals in Sunday's G3 Holy Bull Stakes
at Gulfstream Park. The undefeated 2-year-old champ meets promising Pletcher colt Algorithms in the flat mile affair. The 7th race at Gulfstream
Park on Jan 29, an optional claiming event at a mile and a sixteenth,
has attracted highly regarded colts Casual Trick, El Padrino, and Take Charge Indy. Casual Trick has the benefit of a sharp race over the track and is the 5-2 morning line favorite.
