1/3: Gulfstream Opener (P4)

[Kasept]

Am hardly excited about this Opening Day card, to say the least... The Late Pick 4 looks to have some value in it, with a quirky $8,000 claimer starting the Quad... Here's a glance at the 6th-9th, with some options for a play. Much more interested in the stakes action at Hallandale come Saturday with Sweetnorthernsaint making his 4 year old debut in the Hal's Hope.

Good luck Steve but I know all you can think about is Take the Bluff running on Friday. I know you love that horse. Against Jazil should ensure great odds. Go get em!

Not particularly in love with 'Bluff'.. Liked him in spots this summer. Truth be told, I'm very down on Violette.

I remember going to see you the morning of that race when Reverberate ran a heartbreaking 2nd to Ap Arrow. You said you liked Reverberate and we also talked about Take the Bluff and the possibility he could wire the field. Then you liked him in another spot as well.

Should be an interesting race.
