Mountain Eagle, a promising three-year-old maiden winner trained by Nick Zito, is entered to race on Saturday in a nine-furlong allowance optional claiming race at Gulfstream Park.
A son of Birdstone out of the Gulch mare Gulch Legacy, Mountain Eagle finished fourth sprinting 6-1/2 furlongs in his debut at Churchill Downs, then stretched out to a mile at Gulfstream Park and promptly won by 4 1/2 lengths. Owned by Marylou Whitney Stables, a victory by Mountain Eagle would likely launch him on his way to a major Kentucky Derby prep race.
Others entered in the race include Orb, who beat the super-promising Revolutionary when breaking his maiden on November 24th at Aqueduct; Looking Cool, who won a maiden special weight here at Gulfstream in gritty fashion on January 5th; Saylor's Creek, most recently seen breaking his maiden at Churchill Downs over subsequent LeComte Stakes (gr. III) runner-up Golden Soul; and Uptown Anthem, who has placed in a trio of stakes races at Calder.
