At 1h55, on September 16, 2021 • By GULFSTREAM PARK
An authoritative winner while breaking his maiden in his recent stakes debut, Gentry Farms’ Eldon’s Prince will seek back-to-back stakes successes in Saturday’s $75,000 Armed Forces at Gulfstream Park.
The Armed Forces, a mile turf stakes for 2-year-olds, will co-headline Saturday’s program with the $75,000 Our Dear Peggy, a mile turf stakes for juvenile fillies. The $60,000 City of West Park, a seven-furlong overnight handicap for 3-year-olds, will also be featured on the card.
Eldon’s Prince, who had finished second in his debut in a 7 ½-furlong maiden special weight race on turf, broke through with a six-length victory in the Aug. 21 Proud Man, a mile turf stakes at Gulfstream Park.
The Ontario-bred son of Cairo Prince was purchased for $280,000 at the OBS April 2-year-olds-in-training sale.
Edgard Zayas has the return call aboard the gray son of the Tale of the Cat mare Cat’s Garden.
