Fast and firm with a very competitive, stakes filled card at Gulfstream.  In race 11, Astrologie (#6) has the tactical speed and class to be in this from the beginning — I’m keying in the late double, pick 3 and pick 4 and playing an exacta box with Lemonette (#8) and Long Approach (#4).

In race 9, The Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap, Take The Points (#5) can stalk a suspect pacesetter and hold off the closers at a decent price. I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Le Grand Cru (#1).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 7 and 9

Race 2: 10 and 7

Race 3: 6 and 8

Race 4: 6, 2 and 1

Race 5: 4, 5 and 1

Race 6: 10, 1 and 4

Race 7: 4 and 10

Race 8: 4 and 1

Race 9: 5 (Best Bet) and 1

Race 10: 5 and 4

Race 11: 6 (Best Bet) with 8 and 4

Clear and fast in NY.  The snowstorm petered out but let’s hope my handicapping doesn’t in what ended up to be a pretty competitive card.

In race 1, Afrikaner (#2) should get the golden rail trip behind the the dueling speeds — best bet of the day at 2-1.  I’m keying in the double and pick 3 and playing an exacta box with Four Star General (#1A).

In race 3, Peppi Knows (#3) ran a great two-turn race in the Remsen, will offer value against an odds on runner who has never routed before.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Turf Melody (#1). Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 2 (Best Bet) and 1A

Race 2: 4 and 2

Race 3: 3 (Best Bet) and 1
