Las Vegas, NV - The Grade 2 Inside Information Stakes comes our way this Saturday, March 22 from Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. Fillies and mares four years old and upward will be after the winner's share of the $200,000 purse when they dash seven furlongs on Gulfstream's main track.
A field of seven older females will take part in the Inside Information Stakes - race 10 on Gulfstream's Saturday card. Post time is 5:36 PM. Let's take a brief glance into the credentials of all seven entries for this Grade 2 stakes - three of which come from the barn of Marty Wolfson.
Centrique - Martin Wolfson trainee won a Starter Stakes at Gulfstream December 7 and followed that with an Allowance score on that same track January 29. She has one other start in 2014 - an OK third as favorite the Grade 2 Barbara Fritchie Handicap at Laurel Park February 22. Centrique has three wins and three third places in her last six starts overall and has 10 wins, six seconds and five thirds in 31 career starts. Needless to say she enters in the best form of her career. Javier Castellano gets the call from post 3 as Centrique looks for her fourth win in five starts on this track.
My Pal Chrisy - Martin Wolfson trained mare entered the Go for Wand at Aqueduct on a three race win streak including the Millions Distaff Preview Stakes November 9, the minor Musical Romance Stakes and the Pasadena Stakes - all results at Gulfstream. She went on to a third in the Grade 2 Go For Wand and has since registered a third in the Ocala Stakes here December 29 and a pair of seconds - the Florida Sunshine Million Filly and Mare Spring and the minor Awesome Feather Stakes February 5. She also had a good stretch in the summer at Calder - the highlight being a third in the Grade 1 Princess Rooney Handicap July 6. My Pal Chrisy has three wins, three seconds and five third place finishes in her last 11 starts and is in the best form of her 45 race career. Julien Leparoux rides for the first time from post 2.
Heart Stealer - Martin Wolfson trained filly won her graded stakes debut- the Grade 3 Sugar Swirl on this track December 14 after a second in her stakes debut - the Bold World Handicap at Calder November 2.

Heart Stealer has three wins, two seconds and a third place finish overall and has two wins and a second in her last four starts. She served notice in the Sugar Swirl that she is a threat, no matter the level of competition. Heart Stealer leaves from gate 6 with Javier Castellano aboard.
