Musical Romance probable for Inside Information

Pinnacle Racing and Bill Kaplan's five-year-old mare Musical Romance closed

out an Eclipse Award campaign in 2011 winning the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare

Sprint at Churchill Downs on November 4, but her 2012 season debut did not go

well when she finished fourth in the Florida Sunshine Millions Filly & Mare

Sprint at Gulfstream Park on January 28.

A Florida-bred daughter of Concorde's Tune, Musical Romance appears likely to

get her campaign back on track as one of the favorites in Saturday's Grade 2,

$150,000 Inside Information Stakes at the seven-furlong distance of the

Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint. Musical Romance was off to an awkward start,

steadied on the turn, and lost part of her shoe in the Sunshine Millions.

The status of another accomplished nominee for the Inside Information is less

certain as owner-breeder-trainer Amy Tarrant was undecided Sunday morning

whether she would run her four-year-old filly Pomeroys Pistol, who also had an

off day in the Florida Sunshine Millions Filly & Mare Sprint, finishing one

place behind Musical Romance in fifth.

"I'm still feeling a little guilty about running her in that race. I think I

made a mistake running her back too quickly after her last race," Tarrant said

Sunday morning from Palm Meadows. "I'm probably not going to decide until entry

day (Wednesday). Another option is the race at Keeneland," referring to the

Grade 1, $300,000 Madison Stakes on April 12 at seven furlongs.
