ETOBICOKE – The Gun Runner gelding Arms will race on turf for the first time in Friday’s second leg of the Woodbine Turf Sprint Series, a $25,000 starter allowance/$40,000 claimer. The six-furlong main course event was rescheduled from last Friday, a card that was canceled due to excessive heat.
Trained by Mark Casse for Quintessential Racing Florida, Arms graduated over $25,000 maidens second time out on the Tapeta at Gulfstream Park on May 7. Moving out an eighth of a mile to 6 1/2 furlongs here June 25, the 4-year-old rallied four wide to win a hybrid Tapeta race for nonwinners-of-two allowance types and $50,000 claiming 3-year-olds.
