Colonel Liam and Never Surprised, respectively 1-2 in this year's Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational (G1), are entered in a Thursday optional claiming allowance at Gulfstream Park.
The 7 ½-furlong turf sprint for 3-year-olds and up drew an overflow field of 15 with Colonel Liam and Never Surprised the first two of three on the also-eligible list.
Colonel Liam, being pointed for a threepeat attempt in the Pegasus Turf, has not raced since finishing ninth in the Dubai Turf (G1) March 26. Never Surprised's most recent start came when fifth in Gulfstream's Canadian Turf (G3) March 5.
Never Surprised, winner of the 2021 Tropical Park Derby, has been on the work tab since late September at Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher's South Florida base at Palm Beach Downs, where Colonel Liam shows six timed works since early November.
