Play of the Day Race Date April 03, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 5 Overview A modest starter/optional-claimer on turf filled with Tapeta horses, and very few who have run well on turf. Pace There’s not a lot here, which should flatter #5 TETRAGRAMMATON (6-1): who wired last time and will be on or just off the early pace. Trends You want to be close on the turf, as horses coming from far back just don’t get there that often. Best Bet TETRAGRAMMATON Number 5 Morning Line (6-1) Best Bet Overview #5 TETRAGRAMMATON (6-1) (turf only): One of the few in here with good turf form, and she…

Play of the Day Race Date March 31, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 6 Overview A strong starter-optional-claimer on the Tapeta with several horses that enter in-form and with winning credentials. Pace There’s very little here, save the cheap speed of #5 Eye On the Candy (5-1), which means #7 CASHIER CHECK (3-1), who might be the best horse anyway, should have a dream trip stalking just off the pace from the outside. Trends The Tapeta routes have played relatively fairly, though outside stalkers might have a slight edge. Best Bet CASHIER CHECK Number 7 Morning Line (3-1) Best Bet Overview #7 CASHIER CHECK (3-1): Tactical sort has…

Play of the Day Race Date March 27, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 3 Overview A solid 35k claimer for 3yos with several different ways you can go. Pace It looks hot and contested, as several want to be involved early, which means the cutback for #7 PURE SPEIGHT (5-1) should put him in the right spot. Trends Horses aren’t coming from too far out of it on the Tapeta, especially sprinting, so you need to be close early. Best Bet PURE SPEIGHT Number 7 Morning Line (5-1) Best Bet Overview #7 PURE SPEIGHT (5-1): Versatile sort wired on the Tapeta three-back but won’t make the front here,…

Play of the Day Race Date March 25, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 6 Overview A deep and competitive 40k starter on turf, with several different ways to go. Pace There’s not a lot here, which means #1 ACT LIKE ARTIE (6-1) could either be loose and controlling, or right there attending a soft pace.

Best Bet ACT LIKE ARTIE Number 1 Morning Line (6-1) Best Bet Overview #1 ACT LIKE ARTIE (6-1) (turf only): Potential Lone F has solid turf form and now gets…

Play of the Day Race Date March 24, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview A very tough Florida-bred N1X that could many different ways. Pace There’s actually not a lot here on paper, which should help #3 DUE VINI (9-2), who wired on debut and is drawn outside the speed of #2 Calculated Breeze (6-1). Trends Speed kills, especially sprinting on this main track, as coming from far behind isn’t the ideal way to win. Best Bet DUE VINI Number 3 Morning Line (9-2) Best Bet Overview #3 DUE VINI (9-2): Mth debut winner wired last June and hasn’t been out since a G3 no-show at the…

Play of the Day Race Date March 23, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 3 Overview A solid MCL on turf with several in with chances, though #4 HARDSPUN WOMAN (7-2) should love the class drop. Pace There should be some heat in here, as a few of the proven runners want to be close early, plus Ward has a first (#6) with the aggressive Jaramillo named. Trends Tactical speed, at the very least, is preferred over the turf, especially if it’s firm. Best Bet HARDSPUN WOMAN Number 4 Morning Line (7-2) Best Bet Overview #4 HARDSPUN WOMAN (7-2): MSW dropper had no flow help last time but will…

Play of the Day Race Date March 20, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 8 Overview An awesome AOC for older fillies and mares that looms as a potential key race in the making. Pace It should be honest and potentially even a bit on the fast side, as it’s a full field and there are more than a few who want to go early. Trends Tactical speed, at the very least, is preferred over the turf, especially if it’s firm. Best Bet NEW YORK GIRL Number 5 Morning Line (6-1) Best Bet Overview #5 NEW YORK GIRL (6-1) (turf only): Classy miss was graded stakes placed several times…

Play of the Day Race Date March 19, 2022 Track Gulfstream Park Race 6 Overview A compact renewal of the Any Limit for 3yo fillies, though there is some firepower here. Pace It should be hot and contested, as several want to be involved early and often, which means #4 ONE IDENTITY (7-2) could trip out. Trends You need to be close sprinting on the main track, as horses just don’t tend to make up a lot of ground in the lane. Best Bet ONE IDENTITY Number 4 Morning Line (7-2) Best Bet Overview #4 ONE IDENTITY (7-2): Versatile miss wired on debut on the dirt then stalked…
