Play of the Day Race Date March 26, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A weak 20k claimer sprinting on the turf with #1 MISSING LINK (3-1) looking like he holds a strong pace edge. Pace There’s no one here who can run with #1 MISSING LINK (3-1) early, and a repeat of her wire job last time will win this too.

Play of the Day Race Date March 25, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 5 Overview A relatively modest 16k starter-allowance for the level, though that also means it’s a race there for the taking.

Trends Tactical speed is never a bad thing on the dirt, though the track has been playing on the fair side for the majority of the meet. Best Bet Hero Tiger Number 2 Morning Line (9-2) Best Bet Overview #2 Hero Tiger (9-2): Tactical sort has been running…

Play of the Day Race Date March 24, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 9 Overview A competitive state-bred N1X that has several winning candidates, but just one who figures to relish the race flow.

Play of the Day Race Date March 20, 2021 Track Fair Grounds Race 14 Overview A stellar renewal of the Louisiana Derby (G2), as the local top-3 have been great all winter, and there are some solid outside invaders as well. Pace It should be middling, as there is some longshot inside speed (#2 Rightandjust 20-1), as well as some stalkers like #6 Mandaloun (8-5). Trends Being close on the dirt has been the way to go throughout the meet, as come-from-behind closers are up against it, regardless of the long stretch. Best Bet MANDALOUN Number 6 Morning Line (8-5) Best Bet Overview #6 MANDALOUN (8-5): The deserving…

Play of the Day Race Date March 19, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 10 Overview A weak 20k N2L with a class dropper in #4 SETTING THE MOOD (7-2) who looks primed at this reduced level.

Play of the Day Race Date March 17, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 5 Overview A very competitive 16k starter-allowance that has several winning candidates, but also several who want to mix it up early.
