2/27: Gulfstream (1st-10th)
Weather continues to wreak havoc with the racing calendar as venues deal with a strange and harsh winter. It's in the 40's at Gulfstream right now (7am), and though it should reach 70 degrees, rain may hit mid-afternoon, and there is a chance of a thunderstorm around 4pm which would affect the G3 Sabin (4:12p) and terrific G2 Davona Dale (4:43p). The card at Hallandale is compelling, with the three graded stakes and a P3 (2nd-4th) of one mile events for sophomore boys that should produce a few important types moving forward.
At Santa Anita, the G3 Sham is the key race as 10 three year olds audition for spots in the Santa Anita or maybe Sunland Derby. But the forecast is not good for Arcadia, and there's no way to know at this time if the problematic surface has already taken enough water to consider a cancellation. Rick Hammerle explained yesterday that the races on the downhill course are always the first to come of the turf, and that could impact the Magna 5 which includes the SA 4th as it's 2nd leg. Watch here for the any changes to this week's penta-pick which is the most difficult sequence of the M5 season yet. Speaking of Santa Anita, Frank Stronach is in California and will be meeting with Ron Charles and company about the impending decision on a new main track surface. Increasingly, the mercurial Austrian-Canadian appears like a Mel Brooks-film character on acid, and is now mumbling about another attempt at a synthetic cake frosting for the main track, this time something that sounds like a version of Fibresand as discussed by Steve Crist yesterday. This of course comes after a majority of interested parties were thrilled at the prospect of a new dirt track at the Great Race Place. Stay tuned... The GP slate and Magna 5 are the featured selections today. Let's hope the elements don't conspire against those that have been looking forward to today all week! GULFSTREAM POST-SCRATCHES 1st: S/ALW, 4+, 6.5f (P3, DD, Super) Tough start with well-matched starter foes; Mike Welsch notes in DRF Weekend that Starforaday's bullet move came with him 'drifting in the latter stages while under pressure'.. Harry Benson has shopped for this spot with Post Time having scratched at least twice for today. Owned by 'Geno' Stevens and Carolyn (Mrs. Sonny) Hine, you can bet he's primed for the occasion.. SCR #3 Unbridled Heat and #7 Post Time.. Best Value: #6 Starship Valor 6-1 WON ($7.40) Most Likely: #8 Starforaday 3-1 3rd Next Best: #4 Hollywood Left 10-1 5th 2nd: MSW, 3yo, 1m (P3, DD, Super) Most Likely: #1a (POE) Our Dark Knight 4-1 2nd Best Value: #6 Nadal 5-1 4th Next Best: #5 Game On Dude 5-2 WON ($4.40) Super Add: #4 Vanishing Buck 10-1 7th 3rd: ALW/NW2-C, 3yo, 1m (P3, DD, Super) Most Likely: #4 Radiohead 3-1 WON ($5.20) Next Best: #2 Homeboykris 4-1 2nd Best Value: #5 Call Shot 5-1 3rd Super Add: #1 General Maximus 2-1 4th 4th: MSW, 3yo, 1m (P3, DD, Super) Most Likely: #7 Bushwacked 3-1 2nd Best Value: #5 Miner's Reserve 4-1 WON ($8.00) Next Best: #6 Forward Harch 5-2 3rd Super Add: #9 Gothics Peak 8-1 7th 5th: MSW, 3yo-F, 5f-T (P6, P3, DD, Super) Fun betting race..

Santa Anita decision between 12-12:30p EST.
Doesn't look too good right now. They are watching a band of storms that would deliver another 1-2 inches if it hits. If it should avoid Arcadia, there is a chance they will run...

Got the big effort I was looking for there from Julia Carey's Goolagong (16-1) who had a lot going for her in that turf sprint... Sorry I didn't use Kenny Lane who Mike Welsch talked about yesterday and liked in the mix. Wicked Ravnina whom we both plugged was OK 4th... Nice exotics there.

Wow. Once again Gulfstream takes a race off the turf as the horses go to the track...
 The place is an embarrassment.
