Back to the turf this afternoon, calling the tracks "Fast" and "Firm" for the 11 race program scheduled to kick off at 12:35 p.m.  The Rainbow 6 jackpot continues to grow rapidly and begins with more than $438K in the kitty.

Several allowance races on the card topped by the 10th event, a seven furlong optional claiming and allowance dash for fillies and mares that features the return of Coach Rocks, winner of the Grade 2 Gulfstream Park Oaks here last spring. Luis Saez rides the Dale Romans trained 4-year-old who has not started since finishing far back in the Grade 1 Alabama last summer at Saratoga.  Her two chief rivals appear to be Quick Quick Quick on the rail and Posse Needed with the white hot Jose Ortiz aboard. Ortiz has registered 11 victories over the last three days of racing here including a hat trick on Wednesday.
