If Bill Mott was hoping for a soft landing spot to bring the 2023 champion juvenile filly Just F Y I back to the races following a winless 3-year-old season, he didn’t find it Thursday at Gulfstream Park. Just F Y I will take on multiple stakes winner Gun Song and three others in a conditioned allowance going one mile over the main track. The good news for Mott is that Power Squeeze, last year’s Grade 1 Alabama winner, will scratch from the $98,000 race, according to trainer Jorge Delgado. That filly will be pointed to the Apple Blossom at Oaklawn or the Top Flight at Aqueduct, both scheduled for April 12. Just F Y I, at 2, went 3 for 3 with victories in the Grade 1 Frizette and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. At 3, Just F Y I was second in both the Ashland and Kentucky Oaks before finishing sixth, beaten 22 lengths by Thorpedo Anna, in the Grade 1 Acorn at Saratoga in June. :: Get Gulfstream Park Clocker Reports from Mike Welsch and the Clocker Team. Available every race day.  She came out of that race “jammed up” Mott said. “We had to give her time off, that’s all we did, turn her out,” Mott said. Just F Y I started working on New Year’s Day and shows 10 breezes at Payson Park, including a three-furlong move in 36 seconds out of the gate Sunday. “You probably could have run in any stakes you wanted to and it wouldn’t have been any tougher than this allowance race,” Mott said. “It was time to run. If we want to be ready for some of the races later on, we got to get a race now just to see where we’re at.” Just F Y I will break from post 4 under Junior Alvarado. Trainer Mark Hennig also is using this spot to find out how far along Gun Song is after a 3-year-old campaign in which she won the Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan, the Cathryn Sophia, and came within a neck of Thorpedo Anna in the Grade 1 Cotillion at Parx Racing. In her last start of 2024, Gun Song was beaten a head by Tarifa in the Grade 2 Mother Goose at Aqueduct. Gun Song returned to the work tab on Jan. 8 and has eight breezes leading to her return. She will break from post 2 under John Velazquez. “I don’t think I have her over-ready by any means,” Hennig said. “She’s fit enough to handle it. She’s got a little more recency and it’s always easier to get those type fit.” While her last seven starts came in races run around two turns, Gun Song did win her maiden by 5 3/4 lengths going a one-turn mile on Feb. 9, 2024. “I’m not sure the mile might not be her best distance ultimately, a mile, a mile and a sixteenth,” Hennig said. “A mile and an eighth tests her, at least at 3, but she’s turning 4 and has grown more and matured more. We’re looking forward to getting her started.” Literate and Abundancia, sixth and eighth, respectively, in the Wayward Lass Stakes on Jan. 11 at Tampa, and Riding Pretty, fifth in the Grade 3 Royal Delta at Gulfstream, complete the field. This race goes as the sixth on a nine-race card that begins at 12:50 p.m. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering? Check out DRF's Handicapping 101 and Wagering 101 pages.
