Top Billing, who is expected to be among the favorites in the $400,000 Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park this Saturday, breezed a half-mile in :50 seconds at Gulfstream this morning to complete his major training for the race.
Trained by Shug McGaughey, the son of Curlin out of Parade Queen (by A.P. Indy) won a 1 1/16th miles allowance race at Gulfstream on January 25th in eye-catching finish, rallying from last around the far turn to win drawing away by nearly three lengths. Since then, Top Billing has recorded a pair of half-mile workouts, including today's breeze, which was the tenth-fastest of twenty-six morning workouts at that distance.
Top Billing races for William S. Farish and E. J. Hudson, Jr. Overall, he has compiled a record of two wins and a second from three starts, with earnings of $56,835.
