Florida-bred R Harper Rose Favored in Azalea

BY BROCK SHERIDAN

Averill Racing and Two Eight Racing LLC's R Harper Rose is the 8-5 morning line favorite as she looks to rebound in the $75,000 Azalea at Gulfstream Park Saturday.

The Florida-bred daughter of Khozan will make her first start since finishing 11th in the Grade 2 Eight Belles won by My Mane Squeeze at Churchill Downs when she goes to the post with six other 3-year-old fillies in the seven furlong contest.

R Harper Rose, Stiletto Heels and Fields of Green will also be running for an additional $20,000 bonus for registered Florida-breds presented by the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association.
