Derby Trail Forums - Gulfstream, 3-10

Since the big boys are in New Orleans, I thought today might be a good day to stay in Miami...

Race 1: 3 Seaclipseofthemoon, 1st time Broome, nice 2 races this year as 4 year old, can continue improvement.. 2 Wicklow Vamp comes back a bit quickly, may take a step backwards...6 Full Exertion, not much rest, but closer should be coming late.

Race 2: Rotten race, cheap claimer, should pass, but if you have to play.. DON'T!! can't make a legitimate case for anyone.

Race 3: 7 Americanus, Kimmel horse has done nothing wrong in first 2, may be a good one... 2 Diffraction, come back a bit quickly after matching 2 yr old top in last... 4 Fandiboo, ran 8 in debut, struggled thereafter, comes back here of layoff.

Race 4: This is a quality race...5 Fearless Vision, comes off a TG 2 at 7 furlongs, stretches to a mile, will he run off the screen or react? 7 Advanced Signs, debuted with a TG 6, bounced to an 11 in last, gets blinkers for this...3 Port Royal, Pletcher's horse ran deceptively well in debut, very dangerous in here... both Matz horses, 8 and 9 are eligible to improve.

Race 5: contentious turf race, with 2 interesting horses, 2 King's Coronation, classic 0-2-X, then layoff and 1st time Klesaris, strong if ready... 3 Pocomoonshine, was very fast on dirt for Matz, ran big buried fig 1st turf, then layed off since last July...6 Mythical Conquest ran big 1st off layoff 2 weeks ago, claimed by Capuano and comes right back.

Race 6: Basically all first time starters, not my specialty, I'm open to suggestions?

Race 7: Forward Gal Stakes, this may be a good one to play because Shug's Boca Grande should be bet, but comes in slower than most in here... 1 Silver Knockers, gets rail and is fastest to begin with, should be very tough...6 Forever Together is 2nd fastest, with 7 You Asked right there as well. (Andy talked me into including the 2, Awsugahnow)

Race 8: back to the turf, another competitive one, 2 horses appear to stand out, 3 Dean's List, and 4 Hopes and Dreams...possible long shots to use: 8 Le Cordon Bleu, 9 Sinister Sister, and 11 The Niagara Queen.

Race 9: The Bonnie Miss Stakes, fastest coming in is 5 Lost Etiquette, but I'm going back to 2 High Again, has run 3 TG 9's in a row, ready to explode today! 3 Miss Tizzynow, 1 Lisa M and 8 Swift Temper can all be used underneath.

Race 10: Finale is tough, Old Timer 1 One Eyed Joker is dangerous from the rail, back on turf...4 Tom's Mulligan, if you give him 2 mulligans (both races this year), could be dangerous at a price... 3 Tequila Party, ran a good one at Tampa 1st start at 4, could improve off that...6 Silversandoftime ran a big one 3 back at Gulf, 9 Pigmaileon goes back to turf after good one on dirt, and 11 Stratosfar, strange spot for this 7 year old, coming off 2 very strong dirt races, could be easy winner in here.
Good Luck to all, as always!
