SSM Turf – Ungraded
1 1/16 Mile on Turf at GP
For Four-Year-Olds and Up Foaled in FL

Laffin Blue looks like the one to beat, but it’s a wide open field in the SSM Turf.

1 Bubba Kush
Owner/Breeder: Keikowin Racing

This four-year-old gelding had his best year in 2016 with a record of 9-3-1-2 $91.520. All three wins came in Allowance or Optional Claiming at the highest level. Looking for his first trip to the winner’s circle in stakes company.

2 Laffin Blue
Owner/Breeder: Gdp Inc
Another four-year-old coming off a successful 2016 and another one looking for his first win at stakes level. Won a MSW and a N1X before closing out the year with an Optional Claiming win in state-bred company. We’ll see if he can pick up where he left off.

3 Lifes Magic
Owner/Breeder: TwinTowersRacing

Just a maiden win for this four-year-old. Hasn’t been able to win in N1X company yet. Would take a big effort to win here.

4 Kc Masterpiece
Owner: Kopites
Breeder: Strangefate Stables

The only entrant in the field with a 100 SRF or better, but he has not had much success in stakes or graded stakes company. Scored a win in a state-bred Optional Claimer three starts back.
