Play of the Day – January 19th 2022

Play of the Day Race Date January 19, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 7 Overview A solid 16k starter on the Tapeta, with several in with a chance, though #2 FLYINH BLACK (4-1) has really shown an affinity for the course. Pace It doesn’t look overly fast, which means #1 Odramark (5-1) should be in front on the stretchout, but she’s an unknown routing and there are plenty with tactical speed to lay close. Trends The Tapeta has been a bit fairer of late, tough outside stalkers/closers seem to get a slight edge. Best Bet FLYING BLACK Number 2 Morning Line (4-1) Best Bet Overview #2 FLYING BLACK…

Play of the Day – January 14th 2022

Play of the Day Race Date January 14, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 9 Overview A solid AOC for Florida breds, though #5 AMERICAN OF COURSE (9-5) looks primed off a sharp return.

Play of the Day – January 12th 2022

Play of the Day Race Date January 12, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 9 Overview A wide-open state-bred allowance on the Tapeta, with several favorites who are slow and tough to trust. Pace It looks honest enough, especially since the speedsters are outside and will be forced to go a bit early.

Play of the Day – January 9th 2022

Play of the Day Race Date January 09, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 6 Overview A deep starter-optional claimer, though #5 BORN A GAMBLER (2-1) draws much better than last time, adds Lasix, and should improve second-off the claim. Pace Expect this to play like a turf race, as there’s no pace here, which suggests it will be a 3F sprint late. Trends The Tapeta has turned a bit speedier as of late, though outside stalkers are typically the way to go.

Play of the Day – January 8th 2022

Play of the Day Race Date January 08, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 10 Overview A competitive AOC sprinting on the dirt, and there are several different ways you can go, but #5 PSYCHIC ABILITY (7-2) returns first-time Joseph and may be ready to freak. Pace It should be honest enough, as there are a few here who want to go early, and several others who don’t want to be too far out if it. Trends The main track is always going to tilt towards speed, though it hasn’t been unfair during the meet and, for the most part, horses have been able to come from anywhere to…

Play of the Day – January 7th 2022

Play of the Day Race Date January 07, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 5 Overview A very solid Florida-bred N1X on the Tapeta, though class dropper #3 SOUPER LEGACY (7-2) looks like he has a big edge. Pace On paper there’s very little here, so tactical speed should be at a premium, as this might turn into a 3F sprint entering the far turn. Trends The Tapeta has been relatively fair and horses have wired sprinting, though overall outside stalkers have been a bit better. Best Bet SOUPER LEGACY Number 3 Morning Line (7-2) Best Bet Overview #3 SOUPER LEGACY (7-2): WO invader is proven over Tapeta, has…

Play of the Day Race Date January 06, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 10 Overview A modest MCL on Tapeta, with all the proven runners looking slow, and a likely hot firster for potent connections that should be tough. Pace There are a few here who want to be involved but expect #2 LEE ANN’S ARRIOR (3-1) to motor early, as his works are sharp and Irad lands here for a potent Rivelli barn. Trends The Tapeta has been relatively fair and horses have wired sprinting, though overall outside stalkers have been a bit better.
