Play of the Day Race Date March 20, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview An awesome AOC for older fillies and mares that looms as a potential key race in the making. Pace It should be honest and potentially even a bit on the fast side, as it’s a full field and there are more than a few who want to go early. Trends Tactical speed, at the very least, is preferred over the turf, especially if it’s firm. Best Bet NEW YORK GIRL Number 5 Morning Line (6-1) Best Bet Overview #5 NEW YORK GIRL (6-1) (turf only): Classy miss was graded stakes placed several times…

Play of the Day Race Date March 19, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 6 Overview A compact renewal of the Any Limit for 3yo fillies, though there is some firepower here. Pace It should be hot and contested, as several want to be involved early and often, which means #4 ONE IDENTITY (7-2) could trip out. Trends You need to be close sprinting on the main track, as horses just don’t tend to make up a lot of ground in the lane. Best Bet ONE IDENTITY Number 4 Morning Line (7-2) Best Bet Overview #4 ONE IDENTITY (7-2): Versatile miss wired on debut on the dirt then stalked…

Play of the Day Race Date March 18, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 1 Overview A solid (for the level) 25k MCL on the Tapeta, with several who have winning chances. Pace There’s not much here on paper, so tactical speed is at a premium, and an aggressive ride could have someone loos and controlling early. Trends The Tapeta has played fair, with winners coming from everywhere. Best Bet STUPENDOUS Number 1 Morning Line (3-1) Best Bet Overview #1 STUPENDOUS (3-1): Stretch out sprinter was a decent 5th on debut while being bet (2-1), is bred for the added ground, and could be the controlling pace with an…

Play of the Day Race Date March 17, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A compact starter-optional-claimer on the dirt, with a few treading water, and a class dropper in #6 PEACHY WEACHY (5-2), who looks to have them over a barrel. Pace It looks hot and contested, which should only flatter #6 PEACHY WEACHY (5-2). Trends You want to be close on the main track, as dropping too far behind is not a recipe for success. Best Bet PEACHY WEACHY Number 6 Morning Line (5-2) Best Bet Overview #6 PEACHY WEACHY (5-2): Stiff class dropper was facing eons better last time and held her own, so…

Play of the Day Race Date March 13, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 7 Overview A solid 35k claimer on the turf for older veterans, several of which come in with an abundant amount of back form on the turf that would win this. Pace There’s enough in here to suggest the splits will be honest enough, and that no one will get loose either. Trends Tactical speed, at the very least, is preferred on the turf, as horses just don’t make up significant ground. Best Bet STERLING DRIVE Number 1 Morning Line (3-1) Best Bet Overview #1 STERLING DRIVE (3-1) (turf or Tapeta): Tactical runner was facing…

Play of the Day Race Date March 12, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 7 Overview A strong renewal of the G3 Hurricane Bertie, with an exciting matchup between #3 Obligatory (8-5) and #5 FOUR GRACES (9-5). Pace There’s really not a lot here, which will play against Obligatory, while potentially flattering Four Graces, who has shown she can be tactical when need be. Trends You want to be close when sprinting on this main track, as deep closers just don’t get there all that often. Best Bet FOUR GRACES Number 5 Morning Line (9-5) Best Bet Overview #5 FOUR GRACES (9-5): You won’t get rich here but she…

Play of the Day Race Date March 11, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A meek 40k starter-allowance with few going the right way, and #6 SILVER CLOUD (8-5), who exits a Tapeta tightener and should be primed for a potent Gargan barn. Pace There’s enough to keep things honest up front, though it doesn’t look overly heated either. Trends You want to be close on this turf course, especially when sprinting. Best Bet SILVER CLOUD Number 6 Morning Line (8-5) Best Bet Overview #6 SILVER CLOUD (8-5): Gargan charge was a good 2nd in her comeback on Tapeta last time off the claim, has solid turf…

Play of the Day Race Date March 10, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 1 Overview A 16k MCL’er on the Tapeta, with some easy toss-outs and a few who have had their chances, and #4 LETS RUN TWO (7-2), who was a solid 3rd on debut at the level and should only improve off that tightener. Pace There’s not a lot on paper, so a bunched group and a sprint to the finish seems likely. Trends The Tapeta has played pretty fair, and even the inside has gotten better of late, though outside stalkers would be slightly preferred. Best Bet LETS RUN TWO Number 4 Morning Line (7-2)…

Play of the Day Race Date March 09, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A very modest 12.5k for 3yo fillies, where the entire field-of-nine enters off a loss, with the exception of #5 EVIL OF COURSE (4-1), who impressed on debut. Pace There’s not a lot here, which means being close is a must, especially sprinting this short. Trends Speed kills on the main track, so again, being close is imperative, especially in a lower-level race like this, where it’s hard to pass horses in the lane. Best Bet EVIL OF COURSE Number 5 Morning Line (4-1) Best Bet Overview #5 EVIL OF COURSE (4-1): Pace…

Play of the Day Race Date March 06, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 9 Overview A wide, wide open 20k claimer on the turf with several who figure, though class dropper #6 BENELUX (9-2) finally gets a field she can play with. Pace There’s very little entered, so being tactical is a plus. Trends You never want to drop too far out of it on this turf course, especially when it’s firm, as deep closers are up against it. Best Bet BENELUX Number 6 Morning Line (9-2) Best Bet Overview #6 BENELUX (9-2): Class dropper has been holding her though not threatening against much better, so this group…
