One of our members who wishes to remain anonymous employed a tactic of singling our three selections for the early pick 5 and using all the horses in the other two legs. The wager cost him $35 U.S. and he took down half of the early pick 5 pool at Gulfstream Park for $133,399.40🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
THAT is a serious return on investment!!!
Congratulations! You know who you are and thanks for your membership!!

Champagne anyone?
We had ourselves one heck of a day on Thursday. Member support makes it all worthwhile. A few extra bucks in the bank account doesn’t hurt either!
It didn’t take long to make our mark in February as Bletchley Girl stalked the distance-challenged 4/5 favorite Yooou Know and took not one, not two, but THREE runs at her. The third time was the charm as she took the lead in the stretch and drew off to convincing score at generous 12/1 odds. In Race 3 Drinking Problem – who at 24/1 greatly contributed to our stellar January, added another 8/1 tally to our members favor. We’re going to have to induct this guy into our very own Hall of Fame! He went to the lead, set pressured splits and held off the favored closer for back to back wins. In Race 5, we made it a natural HAT TRICK as Mariano stalked the early pace and got her nose on the wire first at 17/1 odds! In Race 7, Whatchamacall went to the lead and battled through a punishing opening quarter mile of 20.94 seconds and not surprisingly faded in the drive.
We’re headed back to perpetually sunny South Florida for some more Gulfstream action for Friday. Let’s get right to it.

Race 4: A La Carte - 2 pts win - BEST BET (US Morning Line Odds: 7/2)
Older maidens sprint 6 furlongs and I’ve got a pretty neat angle on the debuting A La Carte. First off, there’s a good chance Todd Pletcher’s first time starter, Lakota Territory, will take money with Irad Ortiz named to ride, but he’s been working at Gulfstream Park and not Palm Beach Downs where Pletcher trains his best horses on this circuit. Citizen Mack will also take money as the runner in the field with the most experience and best results thus far. A La Carte though is my selection based on a few things: her dam, Leigh Court, was a winner of 9 of 18 starts on dirt, turf and synthetic. She was a multiple Graded stakes winner and placed fifth in the Breeder’s Cup Filly and Mare Sprint in 2014 behind Judy the Beauty. The dam has thrown two other runners - one of which is a winner on dirt, turf and synthetic. What I like most of all though is her worktab. Her 46.4 breezing workout on January 2nd is super but her 5 furlong drill from January 15 matches the time of last weekend’s Grade 1 Pegasus winner - Art Collector. Again this is a maiden matching a working out with a two time Grade 1 winner. Best bet candidate based on all of these factors.
Best of luck to all our members playing Friday’s races from Gulfstream!
