Default 1/7 Gulfstream Recap

Race 4

#8 Top Notch Lady (12/1ML): This is a horse that should get a ton of play. TNL has some BURIED turf races, her MSW and a G3 2nd place finish to Canadian Horse of the Year Arravale. Those were a WHILE ago but this horse hasn't seen the lawn since then, why, I just don't know because she is bred to take to it, and showed she did. Toss that turf race 2 back as first race off the layoff, on a tiring yielding turf course and you have a logical contender at somewhat decent odds.

Well, it just wasn't her day today. Finished last at 15/1 and to me, visually it look more of a fitness issue, then a talent issue. Was well placed and then shuffled back and essentially lost interest. Not sure I could play her back after this performance, but one to watch if shows improvement next out

Race 6

#4 Mind Eraser (7/2 ML): Another angle that I like playing is Payson Park horses that are working well. This angle is alot like playing Saratoga Training track horses because their works are normally SLOW. At Payson Park, a 50 flat 4 furlong work is like a 48 flat work on a normal track. Payson is like Sar Training in that it is deep and slow. Javy jumps aboard for Mott and if Sunday isn't the day, then the next one is. Look for bright thing from this filly in the future, especially in race up to 8.5 furlongs.

This one boggles me a little bit. Perfectly placed for Javy, ME never was able to catch a seam, but I doubt even if she would have, it would have mattered, might be more of a router then a sprinter, like alot of the Unbridled Songs. Another one not sure what to think, their is talent their though, not sure when it will get unleashed.
