Race of the Day

Play of the Day Race Date March 05, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A solid state-bred N1X, though several enter off lifetime-best runs, which means regression could be in the cards. Pace It looks hot, as several want to be involved early and often, which should really flatter #6 AMPERSAND (5-1). 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 AMPERSAND Number 6 Morning Line (5-1) Best Bet Overview #6 AMPERSAND (5-1): Coming back here off a dud in his return, but it was a race he needed, he…

Play of the Day Race Date March 04, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 10 Overview A solid 30k N2L with an evenly matched race, where the race flow might be tip out the winner. Pace It looks relatively slow for a turf sprint, with just #2 Going for Gold (3-1) as the inside speed, and #4 SURPRISE FACTOR (5-2) as an outside presser with blinkers added off the Danner claim. 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 SURPRISE FACTOR Number 4 Morning Line…

Play of the Day Race Date February 28, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 7 Overview A very beatable group of bottom-level claimers that are all about the same on paper. Pace It should be honest, as more than a few want to be involved early. Trends There have been very few days during the meet where the main track hasn’t been fair, though showing speed—especially in sprints—is never a bad thing. Best Bet SAINT LARNED Number 9 Morning Line (8-1) Best Bet Overview #9 SAINT LARNED (8-1): Capable sort has been running longer for a 5% Varsi barn and now goes to Lander, who was 10-for-24 last year…

Play of the Day Race Date February 27, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 10 Overview A very strong AOC with several exiting the 1/23 race at the same level, and a new shooter in #8 BODECREAM (7-2) with proven stakes form out of town. Pace It doesn’t look all that contested early on, which means #8 BODECREAM (7-2) should sit a pressing trip outside #4 Sayyaaf (6-1), and get first run off the far turn. Trends The turf has played fair throughout the meet, though tactical speed is never a bad thing when it’s on the firm side. Best Bet BODECREAM Number 8 Morning Line (7-2) Best Bet…

Play of the Day Race Date February 26, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A solid 35k claimer for 3yos, but with many who seem stuck in neutral, while #3 ONEMORETIMEAROUND (7-2) has every right to improve in a big way. Pace Pace shouldn’t be an issue for any stalker/closers, as there are more than a few who want to be involved early. Trends The turf has played fair throughout the meet, though tactical speed is never a bad thing when it’s on the firm side. Best Bet ONEMORETIMEAROUND Number 3 Morning Line (7-2) Best Bet Overview #3 ONEMORETIMEAROUND (7-2): Class riser looked good beating lesser last…

Play of the Day Race Date February 25, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 6 Overview A weak 20k N2L with few who have upside, and a horse in #6 FAST CATALNIA (6-1) who drew perfectly and can still move forward. Pace It looks most, which should also flatter #6 FAST CATALINA (6-1), who drew perfectly and should be on or just off the early pace. Trends The turf has played fair throughout the meet, though tactical speed is never a bad thing when it’s on the firm side. Best Bet FAST CATALINA Number 6 Morning Line (6-1) Best Bet Overview #6 FAST CATALINA (6-1) (turf or dirt): Returns…

Play of the Day Race Date February 24, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 5 Overview A solid SAL with two standouts down inside, one of which could really benefit from a potential pace battle up front. Pace It looks solid, as #2 Brasstown (8-5) will be in front, but there are more than a few to his outside who should press him, which will really help the chances of #1 NACHO PAPA (5-2). Trends There have been very few days during the meet where the main track hasn’t been fair, though showing speed—especially in sprints—is never a bad thing. Best Bet NACHO PAPA Number 1 Morning Line (5-2)…

Play of the Day Race Date February 21, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 5 Overview A short SAL field without much to it, and if #4 DON’T GET KHOZY (2-1) runs any of her last few, she should wallop. Pace It looks contested, as #2 and #6 will go, and maybe #1 and #5 will as well, which means things could fall apart in the lane. Trends #4 DON’T GET KHOZY (2-1): Stalker just looks like a better horse than she meets here, and the race flow suits her as well. Best Bet DON’T GET KHOZY Number 4 Morning Line (2-1) Best Bet Overview #4 DON’T GET KHOZY…

Play of the Day Race Date February 20, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 6 Overview A short field of AOC’s that aren’t overly inspiring, and #6 SOUTH SEA (3-1), who exits a really strong and fast 2nd against lesser, but looks poised to handle the (perceived) class rise. Pace It looks honest, with a few inside who will be involved, which only helps the tactical #6 SOUTH SEA (3-1), who draws the perfect outside attack post. Trends There have been very few days during the meet where the main track hasn’t been fair, though showing speed—especially in sprints—is never a bad thing. Best Bet SOUTH SEA Number 6…

Play of the Day Race Date February 19, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 7 Overview A modest 16k N2L where the favorites are pretty tough to trust. Pace It looks basically non-existent, so expect a tight group and a frantic sprint finish. Trends The turf has played fair throughout the meet, though tactical speed is never a bad thing when it’s on the firm side. Best Bet COOPER Number 1 Morning Line (8-1) Best Bet Overview #1 COPPER (8-1) (turf only): Stabbing a bit, but this one looked good breaking his maiden last time, drew best of all, and isn’t that far behind the favorites, with upside too.…
