Gulfstream Park:

Race 1: 1st@ 1.10/1 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Race 2: 2nd@ 3.90/1

Race 7: 2nd@ 4.00/1

We began our day and our week with a WIN, which is always nice. Morning Cocktail took the lead soon after the start. Was headed by Breehazel but came back when it counted for an easy score. In Race 2, Fearless Girl beat everyone but the favorite when given the perfect trip. She had to settle for second. In Race 7 it was Beth’s Dream who went gate to wire. Without much pace on, Battle Cry had to press her but could only run 2nd.

A win and two second place finishes from three selections to start the week.

We’ll move our tack to Aqueduct for Thursday’s races. We’re expecting cloudy skies and chilly temperatures with a fast main track. Let’s get started.

Thursday pick for Aqueduct:

Race 8: Lanfrankophile - 1 pt win (US Morning Line Odds: 12/1)

Allowance optional claimers sprint 6 furlongs and there are two horses tied for top lifetime speed figure in this race. One of them is the morning line favorite, Beverley’s Charge for a race she won on polytrack. The other is Lanfrankophile who earned that figure on dirt racing in Maryland. Her form is a little muddied up with two route races off a layoff but she adds blinkers today and would benefit from a speed dual up front.

Best of luck to everyone playing Thursday’s races from Aqueduct!
