1/29: Gulfstream (6th-9th)
 

Finally was able to nail down a substantive hit Thursday as late P4 went the right way for a modest but welcome $333. Multi-day P6 carryover sequence, which returned a robust $19,420, was absolutely within reach with more clever structure or larger investment. All 6 of the skein's winners were somewhere in the selections yesterday, but the $192 play (4 of 6) was unhinged by my uncertainty over the merits of certain-to-be-favored Fitzaslew in the 7th. I used 4 there to get to the 2-1 winner, and had I been more confident in the first-off-the-claim DiBona runner, it had the potential to open up multiple to the 2 that were missed: 3rd choice "Next Best" Missy Miner in the 5th and 4th choice "Super Add" Phoenix Force in the 6th. The good news was that for a second day in a row I felt like I had the right reads on races, and solid rolling P3's and several nice exotic hits were available within the tabs. Hope you did well! Glance at the GP P4 is below with much greater anticipation for Saturday's Sunshine Millions and Magna 5 action!

Good luck to the 301 DRF National Handicapping Championship contestants at the Red Rock today and tomorrow. We'll try to get an update or two in tonight on ATR!
