1/6: Gulfstream ($35k P5 C/O); Santa Anita (6th-9th)
 

Rough start to Gulfstream stand Wednesday as turf course front end warning from Mike Welsch on ATR proved 100% prescient. Nick Zito's Doctor Peach (8-1 with Lezcano) and Juan Vasquez' War Prospector (42-1 with Maragh) wired lawn allowances in the 5th and 7th, making the P5 a $35k carryover and P4 a $4,420 bonanza (.50). The carryover sequence Thursday is no easier than Day One's, with the 5th, 7th and 9th particularly tough turf tests with deep and contentious fields. Santa Anita Late P4, which starts at 6:04p ET in the 5th, caught my eye as well...

#1a SCR's late in the GP 5th. Waiting for follow-up announcement as the #1 shouldbe running for purse only, no?

Think this photo is coming to the 6..

DH! I have it every which way, but had a nice win bet on the 6..

I don't think there is No purse only in Florida

Every year I forget about how hard it is to call a photo on the lawn at Gulfstream with their comedy finish line.

Ditto on the win bet on the 6! Nice start to the PK5.

Gus and I will settle for another dead heat here....








Cocquesucker..

P6 a $5k+ carryover.

P5 pays a robust $22,800..

You gotta be within 2 lengths to have a chance on that turf course, and on the dirt, you want to be in the 3 or 4th path.

Well-contested fractions have allowed off pace runners to get to the leaders in the turf races. (As in the nightcap yesterday and 6th today.)

this pick 5 seems playable....22k is a nice day

I'll go with the oldtimer, Interpretation in SA's 7th

How did Really Elegant go off at 9-1?

Espinoza on #6 bet to 8/5 ? didn't see that.
