Race of the Day

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.

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.

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…

Play of the Day Race Date February 11, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 7 Overview A decent SAL, but one loaded with early speed, which should set it up for #3 SERENADE A KITTEN (3-1). Pace It looks hot and contested, with several who want to be involved early, which means #3 SERENADE A KITTEN (3-1), who stalked last time, should be in the perfect spot 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 SERENADE A KITTEN Number 3 Morning Line (3-1) Best Bet Overview #3 SERENADE…

Play of the Day Race Date February 10, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 5 Overview A pretty weak 35k claimer, with a potential standout. Pace The pace is lacking, which flatters #6 CAPTAIN RON (5-2), who also has Lopez, and therefore figures to be involved throughout. 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 CAPTAIN RON Number 6 Morning Line (5-2) Best Bet Overview #6 CAPTAIN RON (5-2): Shows by far the best overall form, and should be a lot closer after a slow beginning last time. Picks & Plays Aggressive…

Play of the Day Race Date February 07, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 11 Overview A strong 16k turf claimer with a slew of veterans who look evenly matched, though one with a decided race flow edge. Pace It looks like #3 ABIDING STAR (9-2), a confirmed front runner, catches a group without any early speed at all, which makes him loose on a sizable class drop as well. 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 ABIDING STAR Number 3 Morning Line (9-2) Best Bet Overview #3 ABIDING STAR (9-2)…

Play of the Day Race Date February 06, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A tight group of six in an AOC, that looks evenly matched, but also looks destined to fall apart in the lane. Pace It looks hot and contested, which should hurt the chances of the front runners, while flattering the chances of #6 JOE DI BAGGIO (4-1), as well as #4 With Verve (3-1). Trends The main track has played fair, though tactical speed, as a broad rule, is never a bad thing. Best Bet JOE DI BAGGIO Number 6 Morning Line (4-1) Best Bet Overview #6 JOE DI BAGGIO (4-1): Veteran has…
