GULFSTREAM PARK


POST-SCRATCHES


4th: OC/N2X, 4+, 8.5f (P3, DD, Super)

One of the week's best races goes at 2:03p ET on a Wednesday... Endorsement continues his attempt to reach fruition after nearly 2 years on the sidelines and faces 8 rock solid foes. I'm looking for Castellano to keep close contact with the favorite on 5-1 Golden Gulch. Any number of well-priced players can be involved in the exotics here, so don't be shy about using them..

Best Value: #3 Golden Gulch 5-1 2nd
Next Best: #1 Endorsement 5-2 WON ($3.60)
Exotics Use: #2 Numb Lips 8-1 4th
Super Add: #5 Praetereo 3-1 3rd

Most Likely: #2 Dixie Slam 4-1 2nd
Best Value: #7 Clean Shot 6-1 5th

Some solid soph fillies with Chuck Peery's The Cat's All That the gal to beat..

Besy Value: #4 Hot Roots 12-1 3rd
Next Best: #2 Nuffsaid Nuffsaid 6-1 WON ($15.00)

10th: MDN CLM-$35k, 3yo-F, 7.5f-T/24' (Super, Super Hi-5)

Reduced quality level but equally challenging group for fillies with Princess Malia (3-1) having a modest paper edge. Looks like 8 of the 12 are plausable..

My 'maiden' voyage to Gulfstream Park will be tomorrow (2-2). I hope you and Gus can help with some insight!!

Pretty amazing weather in Florida right now............80's it seems every day. This Montana guy might have to use a little sunscreen!

Thx Steve........

The Cat's All That a SCR.. Uggh.

Ouch going to use the 1,2 now in pick 4

Hurts the odds.Wanted to bet vs him. Really like Hot Roots in here off his wide trip last out and better post and jock switch today.

Like her as well though I thought Cat was a single. Kenneally has potential for big day..

Great card for a Wed. Need to figure out how to get out of work.

Good luck, Steve

Playing $50 win on Pistol Peg 15/1 >

I'm not giving GP my money until they get the midgets under control. It's horse racing, not a circus.

But 4 inquiries/objections a day add to the intrigue!

Wild board at GP for turf MDN's.. Played with pedigrees/prices boxing up 3-4-5-6. No bad stabs here. Anything's liable to come up.

Should come back a nice exacta.

Niiice.

Nice box. I only played $2 win on the 5 because I couldn't understand how a son of Film Maker could be that high odds.Made me think she wasn't any good.

Thx fellas.. That was OK..

Let's try the forward-going 10 here. 18-1 seems silly on her with last race about as good as anything anyone else has done.

I'll take the 6.... or was that the 5:zz:

Nice!

Are we sure which horse actually won? There was a delay and the horses were returned to the paddock, due to, as Larry Collmus explained, The 5 and 6 horses somehow having switched saddle cloths. Talk about strange, but I guess it would have been worse if they had not figured it out until after the race.
