SAT - Gulfstream Park (R7-R11 PK5/PK4)
 

As tough of a sequence all meeting and it appears that the results will be well worth the risk. Of course, you'll have to make a stand in some races and hope for the best. Best of luck to those playing.


Gulfstream Park POST SCRATCHES - FAST / FIRM


R7 - G3 Hal's Hope

#3 Valid (2-1) - In career form and this is his preferred distance. 4TH
#1 Lea (9-5) - Great to see him back, but this is simply a prep for his defense of the G1 Donn. $4.00
#2 Golden Lad (5-2) - Has shown an affinity for this surface and expect him to fire off the bench.
#5 Prayer for Relief (12-1) - Battled top competition all of 2014 and fits underneath here. 3RD

R8 - G3 Marshua's River (Turf 8.5F)

#4 Strike Charmer (10-1) - Impressive G3 win at CD and should be in good position throughout.
#3 Parranda (8-5) - Definitely the class of the field, but she's using this as a prep for a race in Singapore. $4.40
#2 Why Katherine (15-1) - Better draw and Rosario should use her tactical speed to his advantage. 3RD
#7 Summer Moon (Fr) (7-2) - Import seems versatile winning on different surfaces and lands in the Chad Brown barn.

R9 - OC 62k/N2X

#4 Bureau de Change (8-1) - Lightly raced filly is 2 for 2 and has a ton of upside. 3RD
#8 Boheme de Lavi (12-1) - 1st time in the Navvaro barn. Discount chances at your own risk.
#1 More Than a Party (2-1) - Needs a repeat of his latest rail trip. WON $6.20
#6 Discreet Elusive (5-2) - Top connections, but have a feeling she'll need this one and next out she's a cinch. 2ND

R10 - G2 Ft. Lauderdale (Turf 8.5F)

#6 Mosler (8-1) - Hunch that this Mott runner will take to the lawn just fine.
#3 Mshawish (4-1) - Should be a handful once again after strong win here last month. WON $5.80
#12 Mutin (Fr) (5-1) - Simply bullied his way to a win in New York and must be respected for all slots.
#7 Grand Tito (15-1) - Lands in high % barn and looks to sit a stalking trip for Lezcano. 2ND

R11 - MSW 45k (Turf 5F)

#10 Wilshire Heir (12-1) - Barn knows when to give the turf a try and Jock is red hot at the meet.
#8 Holiday Twist (6-1) - Nice string of works and eligible to wake up on the switch to the lawn. 3RD
#2 Presto Magic (3-1) - Will probably pop the gate and then Paco will make sure she keeps going late. WON $7.60
#3 Songbook (5-1) - Decent works for Clement 1ster.

PK5 - 1 2 3 / 2 3 4 / 1 4 8 / 3 6 12 / 8 10 = $81 for $.50

PK4 - 2 3 4 7 8 / 1 4 8 / 3 6 7 11 12 / 8 10 = $75 for $.50

Thanks, Otis - Good luck today

Did you know Rosario was going to be getting on the 10 in the 11th?

A magician doesn't tell his tricks.

;)

Blowing chalk dust off the first three races of my ticket, but still alive at Gulfstream.

Need 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 12 in the 10th to make it to the 11th.

O

Need 2, 3, 8, or 10 to hit GP P5

Need 2, 5, or 8 to hit Rainbow Six

O

Hit 'em both, but payouts pretty slim. A little over $100 each.

Nice work - Take what they give you and live to fight another day.

It definitely didn't appear to me to be this chalky, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

Did you notice that it was #2 Presto Magic that knocked me out of the PK5/PK4
? Irony

Thanks, Bogey. I also hit the early P5 at Santa Anita, which also was was pretty chalky, but that one paid $500+.

But finished 15th out of 98 players in Derby Wars in the $20k game. Missed a payout by about $4.00 (10th place).

Can't win em all!

Cheers,

O
