Race of the Day

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.…

Play of the Day Race Date February 18, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 6 Overview A very solid 50k starter-allowance with several that are in good form and have winning chances. Pace It should be honest, as there are a few here who want to be involved early and often. 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 American Phenom Number 5 Morning Line (7-2) Best Bet Overview #5 American Phenom (7-2) (turf only): Stalker catches a few who want to motor early, which should put him in the right spot,…

Play of the Day Race Date February 17, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 9 Overview A modest 50k SAL with several interesting price possibilities, especially since the favorites aren’t that overwhelming on paper. Pace It should be on the slow side, which suggests there will be a bunched 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 Number 4 Morning Line (10-1) Best Bet Overview #4 GAMBLING CAT (10-1) (turf only): A bit of a stab but the value is right, the field is there for the taking, and this…

Play of the Day Race Date February 14, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 3 Overview A relatively weak 35k starter-allowance, with several entering with suspect turf sprint form. Pace It should be honest, though not overly fast, and going this short (5Fs) that favors those with speed. 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 MONTE NE Number 7 Morning Line N/A Best Bet Overview #7 MONTE NE (turf or dirt): Pace presser drew perfect for his style, was a good 2nd on the turf two-back, and now runs on the…

Play of the Day Race Date February 13, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 7 Overview A modest turf MSW with few winning contenders, at least from those who have raced on turf. Pace It looks honest but not overly fast, which means a bunched field should be in the offing, and a trip will be needed. 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 PERFORMING ARTS Number 7 Morning Line (9-2) Best Bet Overview #7 PERFORMING ARTS (9-2) (turf only): Half-brother to a pair of millionaires was a solid 3rd on…

Play of the Day Race Date February 12, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 5 Overview A deep and competitive 35k N2L with several different ways to go, and plenty of price opportunities. Pace It looks honest, as there are several who want to be on or just off the early lead. 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 TOMCAT BLACK Number 3 Morning Line (12-1) Best Bet Overview #3 TOMCAT BLACK (12-1) (turf only): WO invader was facing much better on the turf up north last time, now goes to…
