[Wandering Eyes]

7th-GP, $58k, OC 62k/C, 3yo/up, 1m, 3:30 p.m. ET

WinStar Farm, CHC, Inc. and Cold Press Racing's Tappan Street (Into Mischief) will make his highly anticipated return facing six rivals in an optional claimer at Gulfstream Park Friday. He is the 4-5 program favorite.

Last seen defeating leading Horse of the Year candidate and GI Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty (Into Mischief) in the GI Curlin Florida Derby Mar. 29, Tappan Street was forced to miss the Kentucky Derby after suffering a condylar fracture in his right front leg.

“We've been looking forward to this ever since he got hurt,” WinStar's Elliott Walden said in these pages earlier this week. TJCIS PPs
