The opening two legs of Gulfstream Park's traditional winter sprint handicap series for fillies and mares, the six-furlong Sugar Swirl and 6 1/2-furlong Hurricane Bertie, have featured pretty much the same cast, led by the multiple graded stakes winner Hilda's Passion. But Saturday's finale, the seven-furlong, Grade 2 Inside Information, will feature an interesting new look with Hilda's Passion facing much stronger opposition that includes Beautician and Amen Hallelujah.
A field of seven was drawn Wednesday for the Inside Information with Hilda's Passion set to carry high weight of 121 pounds, including regular rider Javier Castellano. She will break from post 5.
Amen Hallelujah will be turning back from a mile for her third start of the winter. The multiple Grade 2 winner returned from nearly an eight- month layoff to finish a late-running fifth in the Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Sprint before wheeling back three weeks later to check home a well-beaten second behind Awesome Maria in the Grade 3 Sabin. Amen Hallelujah was the beaten favorite in both races.
Castellano rode Amen Hallelujah in the Sabin but will be replaced by John Velazquez for the Inside Information.
