Race of the Day

Play of the Day Race Date January 23, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 11 Overview A great betting renewal of the Pegasus World Cup Turf, but hardly a great race, in terms of overall quality, which means a “now” horse like #8 ANOTHERTWISTOFFATE (5-1) should have a big chance. Pace It looks soft, with little confirmed early speed, which should really enhance the chances of #8 ANOTHERTWISTOFFATE (5-1), who was just off an honest pace adding blinkers in his G2 win last time. Trends The turf has been fair, though in the elongated routes it’s never a bad thing to have tactical speed, especially in a bunched field.…

Play of the Day Race Date January 22, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 5 Overview A wide open 16k turf claimer that could go any number of different ways, so looking for a square price seems imperative. Pace It looks soft, though that should also bunch the field, so trip will come into play as well. Trends The main track has continued to play very fair, and it even tilted a bit towards off-the-pace types Saturday and Sunday. Best Bet MISS JEN Number 8 Morning Line (12-1) Best Bet Overview #8 MISS JEN (12-1): Another bad ML on this class dropper, who was facing much better last time…

Play of the Day Race Date January 21, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A weak 12.5k MCL, with several who haven’t shown much of anything in the afternoon. Pace It looks soft, which gives a big tactical edge to #4 LIESEL (3-1), who’s two main rivals – #3 and #6 – have very little early lick. Trends The main track has continued to play very fair, and it even tilted a bit towards off-the-pace types Saturday and sunday. Best Bet LIESEL Number 3 Morning Line (3-1) Best Bet Overview #3 LIESEL (3-1): Tactical runner gets Irad, who should be aggressive in what looks like a paceless…

Play of the Day Race Date January 20, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 6 Overview An average SAL 50k that has plenty of inside speed and several who look like question marks going this one-turn mile. Pace It looks very honest, as #1, #2, #3, and #5 all want to be aggressive early, which should tilt this to a stalker/closer who can settle a bit early on. Trends The main track has continued to play very fair, and it even tilted a bit towards off-the-pace types Saturday and sunday. Best Bet HAPPY CONSTITUTION Number 6 Morning Line (3-1) Best Bet Overview #6 HAPPY CONSTITUTION (3-1): Stalker goes turf-to-dirt,…

Play of the Day Race Date January 16, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 10 Overview A deep and competitive running of the Sunshine Turf, where the favorites have little to no edge over the mid-priced contenders. Pace It looks very honest, as several want to be involved early, which could tilt this to the stalker/closers. Trends The turf played to off-the-pace types Wednesday and Thursday, which could bode well for the stalker/closers here. Best Bet OVER THE CHANNEL Number 5 Morning Line (12-1) Best Bet Overview #5 OVER THE CHANNEL (12-1) (turf only): In form runner takes the blinkers off after being too close last time, but he’s…

Play of the Day Race Date January 15, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 7 Overview A modest 16k turf sprint with an evenly matched group that seems ripe for an upset. Pace It looks moderate, which should really play to #7 GOT GLEE (5-1), especially with Lopez aboard. Trends Both the turf and dirt has been playing fair, though having tactical speed on the main track here is never a bad thing. Best Bet GOT GLEE Number 7 Morning Line (5-1) Best Bet Overview #7 GOT GLEE (5-1) (turf only): Pace presser drew the perfect attack post for her style, while catching a group without a ton of…

Play of the Day Race Date January 14, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 6 Overview A solid open 16k claimer with very little difference between the favorites and the mid-priced contenders. Pace It looks moderate, which should help the chances of #2 TALE OF KANTHAROS (12-1), while potentially negating those of the favorites (#2, #4, #7). Trends Both the turf and dirt has been playing fair, though having tactical speed on the main track here is never a bad thing. Best Bet TALE OF KANTHAROS Number 2 Morning Line (12-1) Best Bet Overview #2 TALE OF KANTHAROS (12-1): Price player has been running against state breds and keeping…

Play of the Day Race Date January 13, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 1 Overview A relatively weak 25k claimer, with two of the favorites drawn way outside. Pace It looks moderate, but turf racing has turned into a 2-furlong sprint late, which negates a lot of any potential race flow issues. Trends Both the turf and dirt has been playing fair, though having tactical speed on the main track here is never a bad thing. Best Bet LEASE Number 3 Morning Line (7-2) Best Bet Overview #3 LEASE (7-2): Mott runner drops in class again, goes second-off the layoff and second-time blinkers, adds Lasix, and his two…

Play of the Day Race Date January 10, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A wide-open bottom level claimer with several winning candidates. Pace It looks hot and contested, which means things could fall apart in the lane, especially if #5 Take Charge Dude (7-2) is in fact off form on the stiff class drop. Trends Both the turf and dirt has been playing fair, though having tactical speed on the main track here is never a bad thing. Best Bet YOUNG RAYMOND Number 4 Morning Line (10-1) Best Bet Overview #4 YOUNG RAYMOND (10-1): Stalker didn’t have a fair go of it last time after a…

Play of the Day Race Date January 09, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A solid AOC with plenty of depth, though with very few who have upside. Pace It’s non-existent, which means #1 BLUEGRASS PARKWAY (4-1) looks poised to be loose and lonely up front. Trends Both the turf and dirt has been playing fair, though having tactical speed on the main track here is never a bad thing. Best Bet BLUEGRASS PARKWAY Number 1 Morning Line (4-1) Best Bet Overview #1 BLUEGRASS PARKWAY (4-1) (turf only): Capable sort with Brisset and Thomas now gets a huge trainer upgrade to Maker, who excels in these marathon…
