Fast and firm for the card at Gulfstream, where I’m still feeling the afterglow of the Florida Derby!  I had the exacta reversed for a $509 payoff and my top pick missed by a nose at 25-1.  I hope to pick a few longshots today, but races 1 and 6 have already been cancelled (not sure why) and there have been many scratches so the card isn’t as good as it should be.

In race 8, Broad River (#9) is the absolute speed on a turf course that can carry speed a long way — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with March to Victory (#1).

In race 9. Sol a Pino (#7) is two for two at a mile on turf and has run well enough at Gulfstream to take this.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Forgotten Dynasty (#8).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 2: 9 and 1

Race 3: 6

Race 4: 4 and 2

Race 5: 6, 4 and 8

Race 7: 12 and 7

Race 8: 9 (Best Bet) and 1

Race 9: 7 (Best Bet) and 8

Race 10: 4 and 5

Clear and fast at Aqueduct with another beautiful day in NY.  Today’s first race at Aqueduct has been cancelled because the horses did not reach the holding area by the designated time so my picks will start with race 2!

In race 2, Super Shape (#4) will be the drop down speed in a short field — I’m keying in the early double and pick 3 and playing a big win bet to get the day started.

In race 4, Wheelsareoffthebus (#5) also drops into a cozy spot and may have an experience edge at the distance against several stretch-out sprinters.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Ave. of the Pines (#8).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 2: 4 (Best Bet)
