Play of the Day Race Date January 28, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 9 Overview A solid 35k claimer on though, though outside post positions seem to have hurt a few of the main contenders.

Play of the Day Race Date January 27, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A very solid Florida-bred N1X that appears to have several with an abundance of talent worth watching down the road. Pace It looks hot and contested, so an affinity to come from off the pace is preferred. Trends The main track has played to speed but with so much entered here, it’s entirely possible it falls apart, regardless. Best Bet CHASING HAPPINESS Number 8 Morning Line (7-2) Best Bet Overview #8 CHASING HAPPINESS (7-2): Stalker was in a tough spot in a Tampa stakes last time but ran well to be 3rd, and…

Play of the Day Race Date January 26, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A tough 35k on the Tapeta with several winning possibilities, and a potential vulnerable favorite in #5 Chacalosa (5-2). Pace There doesn’t appear to be a ton of pace on paper, so tactical speed might be a valuable asset. Trends The Tapeta has slanted towards outside stalker/closers, though it has been a little speedier sprinting, and the rail has been especially dead over the past few racing days and anyone down inside should be upgraded for their next starts. Best Bet PRINCESS CUPID Number 2 Morning Line (6-1) Best Bet Overview #2 PRINCESS…

Play of the Day Race Date January 23, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 7 Overview A very, very strong 35k starter on the Tapeta with several that enter in sharp form.

Play of the Day Race Date January 22, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A relatively modest MSW for 3yo fillies at two turns, and a race that figures to be won by a horse that takes a significant step forward. Pace There should be some here, as a few stretch out off sprints and figure to be involved early. Trends The dirt has been fair, though speed is preferred, especially at this trip with the short finish line. Best Bet LIAM’S KISS Number 9 Morning Line (4-1) Best Bet Overview #9 LIAM’S KISS (4-1): Thought this daughter of Liam’s Map was simply in too short on…

Play of the Day Race Date January 21, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 5 Overview A solid AOC on the turf that looks evenly matched, as many of them look the same on paper. Pace Only #4 Undisturbed (10-1) is the only true front runner, which means #8 STOLEN HOLIDAY (7-2) should be able to trip out nicely just off her. Trends They haven’t run many on the turf but the profile is to be forward, as horses just aren’t making up a lot of ground late. Best Bet STOLEN HOLIDAY Number 8 Morning Line (7-2) Best Bet Overview #8 STOLEN HOLIDAY (7-2) (turf only): War Front filly…

Play of the Day Race Date January 20, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 7 Overview A competitive 20k starter-allowance on the Tapeta, in what should be a great betting race. Pace It looks honest but not overly fast, so expect a tight group, and a race that will turn into a sprint off the far turn.

Best Bet DIAL TO WIN Number 3 Morning Line (5-1) Best Bet Overview #3 DIAL TO WIN (5-1): Dialed In filly got to the Tapeta last time and freaked against lesser, in a…

Play of the Day Race Date January 19, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 7 Overview A solid 16k starter on the Tapeta, with several in with a chance, though #2 FLYINH BLACK (4-1) has really shown an affinity for the course. Pace It doesn’t look overly fast, which means #1 Odramark (5-1) should be in front on the stretchout, but she’s an unknown routing and there are plenty with tactical speed to lay close. Trends The Tapeta has been a bit fairer of late, tough outside stalkers/closers seem to get a slight edge. Best Bet FLYING BLACK Number 2 Morning Line (4-1) Best Bet Overview #2 FLYING BLACK…

Play of the Day Race Date January 16, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A competitive 25k MCL on the dirt, though #2 CASH EXPRESS (4-1) has a right to improve in a big way. Pace There’s not much in here at all, so being close will be very important. Trends The main track has been fair, though speed is always a big asset. Best Bet CASH EXPRESS Number 2 Morning Line (4-1) Best Bet Overview #2 CASH EXPRESS (4-1): Decent MSW debut suggests this was the plan all along, and with blinkers going on, he may be sent.
