12/19: Gulfstream Park (5th-9th)
Odd weekend with a good Saturday followed by a rough Sunday. Gulfstream's $80k P5 carryover and Hollywood closing day drew attention, but Florida action proved too simple and Cali too complex. Quiet on the 2 coasts until the 26th, so Hallandale, Tampa and New Orleans will have players focus until then. At Gulfstream today, El Padrino returns in the 4th and Quiros, a half brother of Invasor, debuts in the 7th..
