[Bogey]

It doesn't seem they will avoid a wet track today at Hallandale Beach and plays will be slightly adjusted later on. Still, a fun card with plenty of options.


Gulfstream Park - POST SCRATCHES - changes to the late PK4 due to track condition


R1 – MSW 45k (Turf 5F)

#1 Crimson Glory – Filly seems fit to try the boys. Will show speed from the rail.
#9 Assorted Colors – Should be in good position turning for home.
#4 Nehru – SCR
#6 Montana Knight – West Point runner makes debut and looks ready off works. 3RD

Main: 1 3 5 4

R2 – Alw 48k N1X

#8 Mission Impazible – I’m sure he’s matured for Pletcher since his G3 KyJuv race last April. 2ND
#7 Three Day Rush – Expect him to give his stablemate (#8) a stiff challenge. WON
#4 Sky Venture – Despite slow start was able to grind out a maiden win in last.
#2 Satisfied Mind – Broke maiden on a sloppy track in May at CD at < 2-1. Upgrade if wet.

R3 – Starter Alw10k (Turf 8F)

#10 Thebandisloose – Ran 15 times in ’09 and hit the board in most. Fits well at this level.
#4 Jubilee’s Surprise – Has been 1st or 2nd in last 4 and Coa takes the call.
#5 Prime Precision – Should be used underneath in gimmicks. 2ND
#7 Surprise Kiss – Will show some speed, the big question is the mile distance.

R4 – MSW 45k

#9 Moe Man – Makes important 3rd start and exits a productive race were he lost all chance when clipping heals. 3RD
#7 Systematic Risk – Maiden has already tried stakes company twice including a distant 4th in the G2 Nashua.
#8 Cravin Caden – Closed well in only start and is in good hands. 4TH
#5 Desert Lord – Ran a decent enough race in debut after a troubled start. Top J/T combo. 2ND

#2 Discreetly Mine – Definitely has the class edge and finds himself in Top barn. 4TH
#5 Westover Wildcat – Has shown some quality and might take the race to them. 2ND
#1 SCR
#3 Wildcat Frankie – Ran a bang up race across town in debut. Tricky read. 2ND

R6 –G3 Sugar Swirl

#9 Pretty Prolific – Her last dirt race was a 2nd place finish in the G1 Test. Respect her chances. WON
#3 Warbling – Lightly raced talented filly will have to prove her mettle with this group. 2ND
#7 Honchis’n Ponchis – Trying to make it 3 in a row and has the right style to do it. 4TH
#8 Thunders Dove – Great post for Johnny V to make decisions depending on the pace scenario.

PK3 – 5 7 8 9 / 2 5 / 3 7 8 9 = $32

R7 – G3 Mr. Prospector

#4 SCR
#2 Custom for Carlos – G3 winner could be a serious contender in the sprint division in ’10. WON

R8 – Gulfstream Park Turf Sprint 75k (Turf 5F)

#1 Elusive Warning – Former Group 3 winner has not been seen in nearly 18 months. Should be ready to fire off the bench.
#8 Hockeythehayman – Talented runner has yet to taste defeat and keeps on improving. 2ND

#5 Little Nick – Hard to imagine him winning, but seems to always get a piece. 3RD

Main: 1 4 8 6

R9 – G3 Old Hat

#6 Dances with Ashley – (BEST BET) Has a big chance and will probably be ignored a bit on the tote board.

#2 Election Day – Has been freshened up and maybe she just didn’t care for the synthetic surfaces.
#8 Cruisin’nthebridle – Coming off a 2nd versus similar company and will be closing late.
#4 Blushing Dixie – Barn does well off the bench and she’ll be forwardly placed.
#7 Loxy Lady – Back to back wins against lesser, but should not be totally ignored.

Main: 4 8 2 5

PK4 – 1 2 8 9 / 1 8 / 1 2 5 6 9 11 / 2 4 8 = $72 ($.50 play)
