Gulfport to contest Jerome Stakes

According to DRF.com, Gulfport -- a highly-regarded allowance winner trained by Dale Romans -- will contest the $200,000 Jerome Stakes (gr. II) on January 5th at Aqueduct.

The colt has been training at Gulfstream Park in Florida for the last month, most recently breezing six furlongs in 1:12.40 on the morning of December 29th. A son of Unbridled's Song out of the Seeking the Gold mare Dream Supreme, Gulfport is a half-brother to 2007 Hopeful Stakes (gr. I) winner Majestic Warrior.

Other colts pointing toward the Jerome include Traskwood Stakes winner Vyjack, Dover Stakes winner Vegas No Show, and the promising maiden winners Mudflats and Long River.
