Play of the Day – March 20th 2021

Play of the Day Race Date March 20, 2021 Track Fair Grounds Race 14 Overview A stellar renewal of the Louisiana Derby (G2), as the local top-3 have been great all winter, and there are some solid outside invaders as well. Pace It should be middling, as there is some longshot inside speed (#2 Rightandjust 20-1), as well as some stalkers like #6 Mandaloun (8-5). Trends Being close on the dirt has been the way to go throughout the meet, as come-from-behind closers are up against it, regardless of the long stretch. Best Bet MANDALOUN Number 6 Morning Line (8-5) Best Bet Overview #6 MANDALOUN (8-5): The deserving…

Play of the Day – March 19th 2021

Play of the Day Race Date March 19, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 10 Overview A weak 20k N2L with a class dropper in #4 SETTING THE MOOD (7-2) who looks primed at this reduced level. Pace It should be honest, as there are a few in here that want to be involved early, and a couple more who will be clsoe throughout. Trends The turf has played fair for the majority of the meet, and while tactical speed is never a bad thing, in a race with a ton of speed, you’re going to have every chance to make a late run. Best Bet SETTING THE MOOD…

Play of the Day Race Date March 18, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 1 Overview A meek group of 16k MCL’ers which could have a hot pace. Pace A pace duel between #1 and #3 should set it up for #7 CHARLIECANDO (4-1). Trends The turf has played fair for the majority of the meet, and while tactical speed is never a bad thing, in a race with a ton of speed, you’re going to have every chance to make a late run. Best Bet CHARLIECANDO Number 1 Morning Line (4-1) Best Bet Overview #7 CHARLIECANDO (4-1): He might be close to a lifetime maiden but this is…

Play of the Day – March 17th 2021

Play of the Day Race Date March 17, 2021 Track Gulfstream Park Race 5 Overview A very competitive 16k starter-allowance that has several winning candidates, but also several who want to mix it up early. Pace It looks hot and contested, which could directly impact a lot of the favorites, while #3 TIZARUNNER (7-2) should be sitting back and licking his chops while ready to pounce. Trends The turf has played fair for the majority of the meet, and while tactical speed is never a bad thing, in a race with a ton of speed, you’re going to have every chance to make a late run. Best Bet…

Play of the Day – March 14th 2021

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 – March 13th 2021

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 – March 12th 2021

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…
