Runninsonofagun, winner of the Grade 3 Bold Ruler Handicap on Oct. 29, could return to the work tab this weekend, according to Toscano. The Gun Runner gelding was given a bit of a break following his second-place finish in the Fall Highweight on Nov. 26. Toscano said an allowance race or the Grade 3 Tom Fool Handicap on March 4 could be Runninsonofagun’s 4-year-old debut.

Sibelius waits on the mail

Trainer Gerry O’Dwyer is still reveling in another big effort from his stable star Sibelius as he awaits word as to whether the 5-year-old gelding will receive an invitation to the $2 million Dubai Golden Shaheen on March 25.

“We’re like 90 percent certain we’ll be invited, and in fact we’re expecting to hear soon,” O’Dwyer said this week from his Palm Meadows base. “I was so proud of the way the horse fought Saturday.”

Sibelius (pronounced suh-BAY-luss) earned a 100 Beyer Speed Figure in winning the six-furlong Pelican Stakes in a stakes-record 1:08.75 on Saturday at Tampa. It was the third time in his last six starts the son of Not This Time has gotten a triple-digit Beyer, with a 106 in a September stakes at Pimlico being the highest.

Took till age 9 but Eastern Bay got his first graded stakes win and surpassed $1 million in earnings. He's quietly been one of the fastest sprinters in the region and was a bargain claim for $35k by Norman Cash last spring. I expect he'll run back in the Tom Fool next month.
