Play of the Day Race Date January 06, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 10 Overview A modest MCL on Tapeta, with all the proven runners looking slow, and a likely hot firster for potent connections that should be tough. Pace There are a few here who want to be involved but expect #2 LEE ANN’S ARRIOR (3-1) to motor early, as his works are sharp and Irad lands here for a potent Rivelli barn. Trends The Tapeta has been relatively fair and horses have wired sprinting, though overall outside stalkers have been a bit better.

Pace There are others who ant to be close early but #1 QUICK TEMPO (4-1) is freakishly fast and knows only one way to go. Trends They haven’t run a ton of races on turf, so there’s no real profile, though speed is never a bad thing—especially going this short.

Play of the Day Race Date January 01, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A deep and competitive N2L on the Tapeta, though none have the upside of #6 ASKEW (9-2). Pace Expect this to play like a turf race, as there’s little speed on paper, so a 3-furlong sprint figures to ensue off the far turn. Trends The broad Tapeta profile has been outside stalkers, but nothing in terms of a bias, as winners have come from everywhere. Best Bet ASKEW Number 6 Morning Line (9-2) Best Bet Overview #6 ASKEW (9-2): Lightly raced runner didn’t fire sprinting on the dirt on debut then got to…

Best Bet SCARABEA Number 1 Morning Line (4-1) Best Bet Overview #1 SCARABEA (4-1): Turfway invader faced males last time going longer and ran huge, so this is a drop, and the cutback works too, as she has plenty of foundation for the…

Play of the Day Race Date December 26, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 9 Overview A deep and competitive starter on the Tapeta that has a slew of contenders, though the race flow may play a big factor.

Play of the Day Race Date December 24, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 10 Overview A solid renewal of the 2-mile Jerkens, with several who have a winning chance, though all but one looks severely pace compromised. Pace There’s absolutely none here, which means #3 ABAAN (4-1) is as loose as Saez wants him to be, and not only is he loose, but his main rivals don’t have a hint of early foot. Trends They just haven’t run enough races on the turf to get a real feel, but being close—or loose in front—is never a bad thing. Best Bet ABAAN Number 3 Morning Line (4-1) Best Bet…

Play of the Day Race Date December 22, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 6 Overview A compact 16k starter on the Tapeta with a heavy 8-5 ML favorite (#4 Awsum Roar) that never wins, which means an in-form runner like #7 TREVESS (9-2) can take advantage.

Trends The Tapeta is a bit tough to get a read on, though outside stalkers might get a slight lean. Best Bet TREVESS Number 7 Morning Line (9-2) Best Bet Overview #7 TREVESS (9-2): Got fried…

Play of the Day Race Date December 19, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A solid 16k claimer on the Tapeta, though #1 EMOJI GUY (3-1) looks primed to make it three in a row. Pace There’s not much here, though that doesn’t always mean a whole lot in the Tapeta races, as they can play like turf races off the far turn. Trends The Tapeta is a bit tough to get a read on, though outside stalkers might get a slight lean. Best Bet EMOJI GUY Number 1 Morning Line (3-1) Best Bet Overview #1 EMOJI GUY (3-1): Streaking runner has won two straight and now…
