Gulfstream Park POST SCRATCHES - FAST / FIRM


R7 - G3 Hutcheson

#7 Barbados (9-5) - Keeps on improving and his running style suggests that he is just scratching the surface. I'm expecting a big performance and then taking a shot in Fountain of Youth. WON $3.40

#6 First Down (12-1) - Draw a line through muddy try in latest and he beat a nice group at 1st asking including his stabemate who's the second choice on the ML here. Lots to like.
