Race of the Day

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. Pace It should be honest, as there are a few in here that want to be involved early, and a couple more who will be clsoe throughout. Trends The turf has played fair for the majority of the meet, and while tactical speed is never a bad thing, in a race with a ton of speed, you’re going to have every chance to make a late run. Best Bet SETTING THE MOOD…

Play of the Day Race Date March 18, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 1 Overview A meek group of 16k MCL’ers which could have a hot pace. Pace A pace duel between #1 and #3 should set it up for #7 CHARLIECANDO (4-1). Trends The turf has played fair for the majority of the meet, and while tactical speed is never a bad thing, in a race with a ton of speed, you’re going to have every chance to make a late run. Best Bet CHARLIECANDO Number 1 Morning Line (4-1) Best Bet Overview #7 CHARLIECANDO (4-1): He might be close to a lifetime maiden but this is…

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. Pace It looks hot and contested, which could directly impact a lot of the favorites, while #3 TIZARUNNER (7-2) should be sitting back and licking his chops while ready to pounce. Trends The turf has played fair for the majority of the meet, and while tactical speed is never a bad thing, in a race with a ton of speed, you’re going to have every chance to make a late run. Best Bet…

Play of the Day Race Date March 14, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 2 Overview A compact 20k claimer with plenty of speed. Pace As mentioned, there looks like there’s plenty here, as several want to roll early, which should put #2 CAFFEINE RUSH (3-1) in a good spot, if he can settle just a tad. Trends There have been very few days at the meet where the main track hasn’t played fair, in terms of both a speed and path bias, though as a guideline, having tactical speed is never a bad thing. Best Bet CAFFEINE RUSH Number 2 Morning Line (3-1) Best Bet Overview #2 CAFFEINE…

Play of the Day Race Date March 13, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A terribly weak 20k MCL with just a few who can win, and a favorite in #7 Converter (6-5) who will be very overbet. Pace There’s not much here, which will flatter the favorite, but the risk-reward on #6 CONSTITUENCY (4-1) will be well worth it. Trends There have been very few days at the meet where the main track hasn’t played fair, in terms of both a speed and path bias, though as a guideline, having tactical speed is never a bad thing. Best Bet CONSTITUENCY Number 6 Morning Line (4-1) Best…

Play of the Day Race Date March 12, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A very solid 50k starter with several win candidates, but a price player in #2 TONALISM (8-1) with plenty of upside and a potential race flow edge too. Pace I’m hoping for a big, big meltdown, as several want to be involved early, which could set it up for the lightly raced stalker #2 TONALISM (8-1). Trends There have been very few days at the meet where the main track hasn’t played fair, in terms of both a speed and path bias, though as a guideline, having tactical speed is never a bad…

Play of the Day Race Date March 11, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 7 Overview A compact 50k claimer with a potentially overbet favorite (#5 Morocco 8-5), and a class dropper in #2 THUNDER RIDE (8-1), who should be a square price. Pace It looks tepid, with the longshot (#1) going and #2 THUNDER RIDE (8-1) sitting just off, which getting first run on the favorite. Trends Being forwardly placed on the turf is never a bad thing, especially when it’s firm and hard and hasn’t had much rain, which has been the case of late. Best Bet THUNDER RIDE Number 2 Morning Line (8-1) Best Bet Overview…

Play of the Day Race Date March 10, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A decent 50k MCL’er with a key MSW dropper that looks poised to relish the class drop. Pace It should be honest, as there are some firsters entered, and a few of the experienced runners have shown speed as well. Trends The dirt has continued to play on the fair side throughout the meet, as there have been very few all-speed/inside kind of days. Best Bet SWEET PENELOPE Number 2 Morning Line (9-2) Best Bet Overview #2 SWEET PENELOPE (9-2): MSW dropper was a distant 5th on debut but McPeek never cranks them,…

Play of the Day Race Date March 07, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A weak 25k claimer with a class-dropping standout in #5 UNAQUOI (5-2), who should love this group. Pace It doesn’t look overly heated, which should flatter #5 UNAQUOI (5-2) that much more, as she drew the perfect outside attack post. Trends Being forwardly placed on the turf is never a bad thing, especially when it’s firm and hard and hasn’t had much rain, which has been the case of late. Best Bet UNAQUOI Number 5 Morning Line (5-2) Best Bet Overview #5 UNAQUOI (5-2) (turf only): Class dropper has been facing eons better,…

Play of the Day Race Date March 06, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A seemingly meek MSW where the firsters don’t have a lot of appeal or pedigree, the experienced runners haven’t inspired, and there’s a standout in #6 THIRD DRAFT (5-2), who tipped her hand at 2 and now returns at 3 with Lasix. Pace It should be honest, though with several firsters entered it could be even more heated than anticipated. Trends Being forwardly placed on the turf is never a bad thing, especially when it’s firm and hard and hasn’t had much rain, which has been the case of late. Best Bet THIRD…
