Play of the Day Race Date March 14, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 2 Overview A compact 20k claimer with plenty of speed. Pace As mentioned, there looks like there’s plenty here, as several want to roll early, which should put #2 CAFFEINE RUSH (3-1) in a good spot, if he can settle just a tad. Trends There have been very few days at the meet where the main track hasn’t played fair, in terms of both a speed and path bias, though as a guideline, having tactical speed is never a bad thing. Best Bet CAFFEINE RUSH Number 2 Morning Line (3-1) Best Bet Overview #2 CAFFEINE…

Play of the Day Race Date March 13, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A terribly weak 20k MCL with just a few who can win, and a favorite in #7 Converter (6-5) who will be very overbet. Pace There’s not much here, which will flatter the favorite, but the risk-reward on #6 CONSTITUENCY (4-1) will be well worth it. Trends There have been very few days at the meet where the main track hasn’t played fair, in terms of both a speed and path bias, though as a guideline, having tactical speed is never a bad thing. Best Bet CONSTITUENCY Number 6 Morning Line (4-1) Best…

Play of the Day Race Date March 12, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A very solid 50k starter with several win candidates, but a price player in #2 TONALISM (8-1) with plenty of upside and a potential race flow edge too. Pace I’m hoping for a big, big meltdown, as several want to be involved early, which could set it up for the lightly raced stalker #2 TONALISM (8-1). Trends There have been very few days at the meet where the main track hasn’t played fair, in terms of both a speed and path bias, though as a guideline, having tactical speed is never a bad…

Play of the Day Race Date March 11, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 7 Overview A compact 50k claimer with a potentially overbet favorite (#5 Morocco 8-5), and a class dropper in #2 THUNDER RIDE (8-1), who should be a square price. Pace It looks tepid, with the longshot (#1) going and #2 THUNDER RIDE (8-1) sitting just off, which getting first run on the favorite. Trends Being forwardly placed on the turf is never a bad thing, especially when it’s firm and hard and hasn’t had much rain, which has been the case of late. Best Bet THUNDER RIDE Number 2 Morning Line (8-1) Best Bet Overview…

Play of the Day Race Date March 10, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A decent 50k MCL’er with a key MSW dropper that looks poised to relish the class drop. Pace It should be honest, as there are some firsters entered, and a few of the experienced runners have shown speed as well. Trends The dirt has continued to play on the fair side throughout the meet, as there have been very few all-speed/inside kind of days. Best Bet SWEET PENELOPE Number 2 Morning Line (9-2) Best Bet Overview #2 SWEET PENELOPE (9-2): MSW dropper was a distant 5th on debut but McPeek never cranks them,…

Play of the Day Race Date March 07, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A weak 25k claimer with a class-dropping standout in #5 UNAQUOI (5-2), who should love this group. Pace It doesn’t look overly heated, which should flatter #5 UNAQUOI (5-2) that much more, as she drew the perfect outside attack post. Trends Being forwardly placed on the turf is never a bad thing, especially when it’s firm and hard and hasn’t had much rain, which has been the case of late. Best Bet UNAQUOI Number 5 Morning Line (5-2) Best Bet Overview #5 UNAQUOI (5-2) (turf only): Class dropper has been facing eons better,…

Play of the Day Race Date March 06, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 4 Overview A seemingly meek MSW where the firsters don’t have a lot of appeal or pedigree, the experienced runners haven’t inspired, and there’s a standout in #6 THIRD DRAFT (5-2), who tipped her hand at 2 and now returns at 3 with Lasix. Pace It should be honest, though with several firsters entered it could be even more heated than anticipated. Trends Being forwardly placed on the turf is never a bad thing, especially when it’s firm and hard and hasn’t had much rain, which has been the case of late. Best Bet THIRD…

Play of the Day Race Date March 05, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A solid state-bred N1X, though several enter off lifetime-best runs, which means regression could be in the cards. Pace It looks hot, as several want to be involved early and often, which should really flatter #6 AMPERSAND (5-1). Trends The dirt has continued to play on the fair side throughout the meet, as there have been very few all-speed/inside kind of days. Best Bet AMPERSAND Number 6 Morning Line (5-1) Best Bet Overview #6 AMPERSAND (5-1): Coming back here off a dud in his return, but it was a race he needed, he…

Play of the Day Race Date March 04, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 10 Overview A solid 30k N2L with an evenly matched race, where the race flow might be tip out the winner. Pace It looks relatively slow for a turf sprint, with just #2 Going for Gold (3-1) as the inside speed, and #4 SURPRISE FACTOR (5-2) as an outside presser with blinkers added off the Danner claim. Trends Being forwardly placed on the turf is never a bad thing, especially when it’s firm and hard and hasn’t had much rain, which has been the case of late. Best Bet SURPRISE FACTOR Number 4 Morning Line…
