![]() The parade of implaussible winners refused to end Thursday at Gulfstream with $40 horses bookending the P6 sequence which again carried over after just three legs. Steve Klesaris produced the first 20-1 winner in Moose Man ahead of Steve DiMauro's head-scratching wire job Alwaysacontest ($21.80) and George Weaver's tough to like Molly Molly Molly ($35.80). That P3 was good for $9,200, a skein which outpayed the P4 ($8,602) that started with 'Molly' and ended with $42.80 Al's Big Girl.
After two days of erratic results and the P6 pool at $117k, the irresistable Gulfstream situation threatens to drain the bankroll ahead of a big weekend of racing. In addition, the sequence ends with a $6,250 claiming affair that can could produce a horse you wouldn't find with the 'all' button. Tough to invest heavily... Plus, don't forget that the Fair Grounds Oaks card is also on today's agenda! GULFSTREAM PARK POST-SCRATCHES OFF THE TURF -- EXTENSIVE CHANGES 5th: MDN CLM, 3+, 5.5f (P6, P3, DD, Super) Most Likely: #4 Raising Timber 5-2 5th Next Best: #5 Crack Thepat 5-1 WON ($7.40) Best Value: #7 Close Range 6-1 6th Super Add: #2 Expedition 3-1 4th 6th: S/ALW, 3yo, 1m -- OFF THE TURF -- (P3, DD) Field SCR'd down to #'s 2-3-5-7 Most Likely: #5 Richie Rules 3rd Next Best: #2 Concert Stage 2nd 7th: CLM/N3L, 3+, 6f (P4, P3, DD, Super) Most Likely: #6 Maria's Charm 5-2 2nd Best Value: #10 Dancing Nick 10-1 7th Next Best: #8 Triple Honor 4-1 3rd Super Add: #4 Mize the Big Cat 6-1 WON ($9.20) 8th: CLM/N3L, F&M-3+, 5f -- OFF THE TURF -- (P3, DD, Super) #'s 1-2-3-4-5-7-11 remain after SCR's Best Value: #4 Shift It WON ($15.80) Next Best: #2 Cheeca Storm 3rd 9th: CLM, F&M-4+, 8.5f -- OFF THE TURF -- (DD, Super) #'s 2-4-8-11-12 remain after SCR's Most Likely: #8 Omega Cat WON ($4.60) Best Value: #2 Marija's Wish 3rd Next Best: #11 Bob's Jawbreaker 2nd 10th: CLM, 4+, 9f (Super) Uggh... Awfully difficult to place modest P6 wager with confidence when the anchor leg is a race like this: Inscrutible and generally inconsistent cheap claimers.. Most Likely: #4 Sleek John 4-1 WON ($4.60) Best Value: #2 Charko 6-1 2nd Next Best: #11 Soy Latino 5-2 3rd Super Add: #7 Northern Academy 8-1 11th <$75 P6 Play: 5: 4-5 6: 2-5 7: 6-10 8: 4 9: 2-8 10: 2-4 2x2x2x1x2x2 = 32 x $2 = $64 <$40 P4 Play: 7: 4-6-8-10 8: 2-4 9: 2-8-11 10: 2-4-11 4x2x3x3 = 72 x $.50 = $36 $0.50 Pick 4 Paid $243.35 FAIR GROUNDS POST-EARLY SCRATCHES 6th: 24th Bienville, F&M-4+, 5.5f-T (P3, Super) Most Likely: #1 West Ocean 7-2 WON Best Value: #10 Seeking Ms Shelly 8-1 3rd Next Best: #7 Northern Belle 9-2 5th Super Add: #5 Coy Cat 3-1 4th 7th: 5th Crescent City Oaks-LA, 3yo-F, 1m-40y (P4, P3, Super) Best Value: #2 Daphne Angela 6-1 WON Next Best: #1a (POE) Lunar Fest 9-2 2nd Exotics Use: #6 Conscions Contact 8-1 10th Super Add: #9 Ladyzarbridge 7-2 3rd 8th: 42nd Bayou H., F&M-4+, 9f-T (P3, DD, Super) Most Likely: #3 Tizaqueena 9-5 WON Next Best: #2 Never Retreat 3-1 3rd Best Value: #4 Category Seven 9-2 4th Super Add: #5 A She's Adorable 5-1 2nd 9th: 44th Fair Grounds Oaks (G2), 3yo, 8.5f (DD, Super) Despite the flashy connections, it's tough to be enthralled over 3-1 ML choice Ailelea who has been AWOL much of the year after promise-laden juvy campaign. Still hasn't been around two turns, and while same can be said of Mambo Fever, at least she has form and a worthwhile tab. Note too that Tiffany Lass/SBD winner Jody Slew was uncertain for this after casting herself in her stall last week.. Most Likely: #4 Mambo Fever 6-1 5th Best Value: #6 Visavis 8-1 10th Next Best: #11 Ailalea 3-1 6th Super Add: #1 Quiet Temper 7-2 WON 10th: MSW, 3yo-F, 5.5f-T (Super, Super High 5) Most Likely: #5 Eagle Hall 3-1 5th Next Best: #4 Four Daughters 4-1 9th Best Value: #6 Suekel 12-1 2nd Super Add: #12 Little Egypt 12-1 4th High 5 Play: #10 Elusive Temper 12-1 WON <$75 P4 Play: 7: 1-2 8: 2-3-4-5-6 9: 4-6-11 10: 4-5-6-10-12 2x5x3x5 = 150 x .50 = $75 Good luck! Steve

![]() Thanks guys! Turned into a nice day even with GP coming off turf. Nice payoff on the quad. Did talk myself out of the FG P4 by worrying about the Pletcher filly though... Grrrr.
Hope it's a good start to a fun weekend of action! Good luck.
