Play of the Day Race Date December 23, 2020 Track Gulfstream Park Race 5 Overview A decent group of 35k claimers and a class dropper in #2 AKOR (4-1), who was been facing much better at Kentucky Downs.

Trends Both the turf and dirt has been playing fair, though having tactical speed on the main track here is never a bad thing.

Play of the Day Race Date December 17, 2020 Track Gulfstream Park Race 6 Overview A state-bred AOC with a field that is very evenly matched on paper, though #1 PAPA’S LITTLE GIRL (3-1) seems to hold a distinct pace advantage.

Play of the Day Race Date December 16, 2020 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A decent starter-optional claimer with plenty of speed.

Best Bet SUNNY ISLE BEACH Number 7 Morning Line (7-2) Best Bet Overview #7 SUNNY ISLE BEACH (7-2): Stalker catches a speedy field, is a two-time winner in a race filled with 1’fers, and…

Play of the Day Race Date December 13, 2020 Track Gulfstream Park Race 10 Overview A strong 50k claimer on the turf with a deep field. Pace The pace looks modest, with inside speed from #1, #2, and #3, though it should be tepid early, regardless.

Best Bet SUPER KITTEN Number 4 Morning Line (6-1) Best Bet Overview #4 SNIPER KITTEN (6-1) (turf only): Maker charge should be able to spy the inside trio and get first run on the two…

Play of the Day Race Date December 12, 2020 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A relatively modest 75k stakes with a potential standout in #5 LADY LAWYER (2-1).

Best Bet JADE EMPRESS Number 3 Morning Line (3-1) Best Bet Overview #3 JADE EMPRESS (3-1): Mott runner has faced a trio of open MSW fields in her first three starts and held her own,…

Play of the Day Race Date December 10, 2020 Track Gulfstream Park Race 5 Overview A modest but competitive group of 20k N2L’s that seems there for the taking by a newcomer, as the locals just don’t inspire. Pace The pace looks glacial to non-existent, as there is no one entered who has shown any speed of late, which means this will be a crawl early on. Trends Both the turf and dirt has been playing fair, especially the latter, as several off-the-pace types came running to end Saturday and throughout Sunday as well.
