White Abarrio, the 2023 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner, is the 3-5 morning-line favorite for Saturday’s Grade 3, $165,000 Mr. Prospector Stakes at Gulfstream Park.

The seven-furlong dirt sprint attracted 12 runners with Mufasa (9-2), the only other contender with single-digit odds, standing out as the most logical challenger to White Abarrio.

Post time for the Mr. Prospector is 4:51 p.m. EST, and it goes as race 10 of 11 on Gulfstream’s Saturday card. FanDuel TV will have live coverage.

Looking at the pace

Super Chow is expected to set a fast pace in the Mr. Prospector ahead of Little Vic and Illuminare. White Abarrio figures to bide his time in midpack.

White Abarrio continues his comeback after a poor start to 2024 in the Mr. Prospector, which could serve as a prep for next month’s Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1). 

Skippylongstocking bypassed the Mr. Prospector but worked toward the Pegasus Stakes on Friday morning with a bullet five-furlong drill. Here’s the Friday workout report.

Grade 1 Malibu winner Raging Torrent is targeting the Godolphin Mile next April, according to trainer Doug O’Neill. For more on opening day, check out HRN’s Santa Anita roundup.
