Notable Returns

Last seen finishing nearly 24 lengths behind Asiatic Boy in the 2007 UAE Derby, Nashua Stakes winner Day Pass returns in the second at Gulfstream on Sunday. Once more in trainer Kiaran McLaughlin’s barn, the colt starts in the 7-furlong OC/N2X off a string of decent works, including two recent bullets at Palm Meadows, and goes back on Lasix.
At Santa Anita, Florida Derby runner-up Notional makes his first start since last March in the 6 1/2-furlong Daytona. The downhill turf handicap came up a tough comeback spot for the 4-year-old, who is also making his turf debut, with Desert Code, dropping out of graded stakes company and winner of two over the course, and Night Chapter, winner of the 2007 Daytona, among the 12 starters.
