Featured Track/Race:   Gulfstream Park – Race 13 
   
Race overview:  A strong, competitive renewal of the Pegasus, a race where you could make a case for 6-8 different winners. 
   
Pace:  It looks very sharp, as #5 Defunded is going, and with #6 Art Collector, #10 Cyberknife, and #11 Stilleto Boy all to his outside, things figure to be hot early. 
   
Trends:  You need tactical speed routing on the main track, as it’s difficult to make up too much ground off the far turn if you’re not in contention entering it. 
   
Best Play:  #7 Skippylongstocking (5-1): Loved the fast comeback win in the local G3 Harlan’s Holiday, a short stretch/finish line race where he was involved throughout, and this added distance should only help him, as he can spy all the speed. 
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive WP bet and single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
