Race of the Day

Play of the Day Race Date April 02, 2021 Track Keeneland Race 8 Overview A solid and speedy renewal of the G3 Beaumont that looks competitive and ripe for a minor surprise, especially with ML favorite #2 Slumber Party taking on winner. Pace It looks to be very quick and contested, as several want to be involved early and often, which could set it up for a stalker who can lay close. Trends N/A Best Bet AMALFI PRINCESS Number 4 Morning Line (9-2) Best Bet Overview #4 AMALFI PRINCESS (9-2): Value abounds here, as she figures to get overlooked a bit off a turf race, but she fits…

Play of the Day Race Date March 28, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 11 Overview A deep and competitive 35k claimer, though the upside lies with #1 PIONEER MAN (7-2), who looks poised to improve off the claim. Pace It looks a little on the slow side, which should put tactical speed at even more of a premium than normal. Trends Tactical speed is always at a premium on the turf, though when going this far it doesn’t play nearly as important as it does going shorter. Best Bet PIONEER MAN Number 1 Morning Line (7-2) Best Bet Overview #1 PIONEER MAN (7-2): Maker claim (17%) just missed…

Play of the Day Race Date March 27, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 10 Overview A solid renewal of the Pan American (G2), though one with proven commodities, several of which have no more upside left. Pace It looks modest, but these marathons typically go slow early and turn into a 2F sprint late, so pace is not as imperative. Trends Tactical speed is always at a premium on the turf, though when going this far it doesn’t play nearly as important as it does going shorter. Best Bet MOON OVER MIAMI Number 7 Morning Line (5-1) Best Bet Overview #7 MOON OVER MIAMI (5-1): Mott runner was…

Play of the Day Race Date March 26, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A weak 20k claimer sprinting on the turf with #1 MISSING LINK (3-1) looking like he holds a strong pace edge. Pace There’s no one here who can run with #1 MISSING LINK (3-1) early, and a repeat of her wire job last time will win this too. Trends Speed sprinting on the turf is a huge asset, especially going this short, over what is a hard and firm turf course. Best Bet MISSING LINK Number 1 Morning Line (3-1) Best Bet Overview #1 MISSING LINK (3-1): Speedster looks like the controlling pace…

Play of the Day Race Date March 25, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 5 Overview A relatively modest 16k starter-allowance for the level, though that also means it’s a race there for the taking. Pace It should be honest, though not overly heated, which figures to tilt this towards the stalkers who can lay close early and get first run. Trends Tactical speed is never a bad thing on the dirt, though the track has been playing on the fair side for the majority of the meet. Best Bet Hero Tiger Number 2 Morning Line (9-2) Best Bet Overview #2 Hero Tiger (9-2): Tactical sort has been running…

Play of the Day Race Date March 24, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 9 Overview A competitive state-bred N1X that has several winning candidates, but just one who figures to relish the race flow. Pace It looks borderline supersonic, as several want to hear their feet rattle early, which should set it up for #1 BATTLE CRY (4-1). Trends Tactical speed is never a bad thing on the dirt, though the track has been playing on the fair side for the majority of the meet. Best Bet BATTLE CRY Number 1 Morning Line (4-1) Best Bet Overview #1 BATTLE CRY (4-1): Stretch runner exits an easy win against…

Play of the Day Race Date March 21, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 7 Overview An MSW there for the taking, as no one inspires and a new face seems primed to take advantage. Pace It looks slow, which could yield to a bunched field. Trends Tactical speed is never a bad thing on the dirt, though the track has been playing on the fair side for the majority of the meet. Best Bet MY HAPPY GIRL Number 3 Morning Line (9-2) Best Bet Overview #3 MY HAPPY GIRL (9-2): Toss the turf run from the parking lot and now she’s back on the dirt for Cox, who…

Play of the Day Race Date March 20, 2021 Track Fair Grounds Race 14 Overview A stellar renewal of the Louisiana Derby (G2), as the local top-3 have been great all winter, and there are some solid outside invaders as well. Pace It should be middling, as there is some longshot inside speed (#2 Rightandjust 20-1), as well as some stalkers like #6 Mandaloun (8-5). Trends Being close on the dirt has been the way to go throughout the meet, as come-from-behind closers are up against it, regardless of the long stretch. Best Bet MANDALOUN Number 6 Morning Line (8-5) Best Bet Overview #6 MANDALOUN (8-5): The deserving…

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…
