Winner of the $200,000 Kentucky Downs Juvenile in just his third career start last year as a 2-year-old, CRONINTHEBARBARIAN put in a strong rally to place in Gulfstream Park’s Grade 3 Dania Beach S. Reserved off the pace in this 10-horse field, the now 3-year-old colt by STROLL went wide around the final turn and finished full of run to finish a little more than a length off the win. CRONINTHEBARBARIAN was coming off a narrow runner-up finish, beaten just a nose, in Gulfstream Park West’s Pulpit S.
