GULFSTREAM PARK


POST-SCRATCHES


3rd: MSW, 3yo, 1m (P3, DD, Hi-5)

Best Value ~ Spot Play: #2 Donegal Aces (6-1): Full brother to long-winded $1.2MM earning Hard Aces debuts for Gargan who has won with 3 of his last 5 first time starters. Gives away experience to several that have run well against the likes of Country House, et al, so price could hold..


9th: MSW, 3yo, 8.5f-T/60' (P6, P3, DD, Hi-5)

Rainbow 6 Force Out starts here..

Brutally tough start to sequence where coverage of nearly everyone is necessary to guarantee safe passage. Four first time starters (2 Casses for Barber/Oxley & Farmer, a Brown/Klaravich and Motion/Sam-Son) complicate matter. Watch board for clues..

Good luck!
Steve

Good call in the 12 race Steve. I boxed your four horses for .50
And got back 376 on the tri! Great job!

Same here. I boxed the 4 and came back large. I have seen it before when Steve comments that a race has him puzzled he usually comes back with a home run. Thanks big time Steve.

I had inscrutable boxed with skien.

Got beat by squirrely in the stretch.

I can't believe I left out the Brown in R13. What a stupid I am.

:tro:

Guys.. Thanks a lot. Really glad you scored in the 12th! That was great. I was focused on the win side with the bizarre 3-2 on Pagliacci and Tombelaine's drifting up to 9-1. Watched the race with Gus and the first thing I said to him was 'Those are my horses and I didn't bet the tri. It's going to be huge'..

Tomm.. It's funny you say that, because I've noticed it too. I spent more time on the 12th than any other race, which kind of disproves the 'study long, study wrong' chestnut. I wish I'd spent more time on the feature. I didn't use Maximum Security on any ticket thinking he could only win with an easy lead and that didn't seem very likely... until the gates opened.

Hope everyone did well. Fun afternoon out at the Hallendale Beach Blvd. Shopping Center and Gambling Arcade.
