Bidding to add to Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen's record six wins (now three in the last five years) in this early season juvenile focal point, the bay broke on top from the fence and quickly cleared off. Doling out splits of :21.65 and :45.07 with one pesky pursuer in tow, he opened up rapidly when set down at the top of the lane and ran up the score to some 10 lengths. Owen's Leap (Bolt d'Oro) edged out Andthewinneris (Oscar Performance) for second. Gulfport's final time of 1:09.25 was the second fastest in the race's 121-year history behind only the Asmussen-trained future MGISW Kodiak Kowboy (1:09.15 in 2007). Asmussen also clinched the Churchill spring training title with the victory. Sales history: $275,000 ylg '21 FTKJUL. O-L. William & Corinne Heiligbrodt, Jackpot Farm & Whispering Oaks Farm LLC.
