With 4 OFF THE TURF races lots of people that may normally play won't even bother 'capping meaning you are up against even less than a normal Wednesday. I would think that today may end up being one of the smallest days at Gulfstream all year, at least handle-wise. With the opposition passing on today, why not give it a spin.
Does this make sense or am I just looking for an excuse to play an otherwise decimated racecard?

It may be... I'm not convinced that any time other than mandatory payout day is the right time. Races 8, 9 and 10 look tight and clear, so there's no mystery there... 7 has a slight chance for a random winner and 11 a good chance someone other than the top choices. Haven't looked at R6.
You need at least 2 big prices and typically 2 mid-priced shots to clear the decks for a unique winner. I'm playing a P5 today between my published $72 play and $90 if I add a horse in the 7th. As I've said on air, there unique ticket plays have me a tad baffled as to their playability.
G/L whatever you do!
