| Race Date | January 09, 2022 |
| Track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race | 6 |
| Overview | A deep starter-optional claimer, though #5 BORN A GAMBLER (2-1) draws much better than last time, adds Lasix, and should improve second-off the claim. |
| Pace | Expect this to play like a turf race, as there’s no pace here, which suggests it will be a 3F sprint late. |
| Trends | The Tapeta has turned a bit speedier as of late, though outside stalkers are typically the way to go. |
| Best Bet | BORN A GAMBLER |
| Number | 5 |
| Morning Line | (2-1) |
| Best Bet Overview | #5 BORN A GAMBLER (2-1): Ran big off the claim last time from a bad draw and now gets a tidier post, and Fawkes, more than anyone else here, has been potent on the Tapeta. |
| Picks & Plays | Aggressive WP bet and single to kick off the late Pk5 as well. |
