racing secr. doesnt care?

The idea is there, unfortunately the racing is not. would you really bet an early p4 with the type and quality of races that they run early on the card ?
I wouldnot. I have pretty much stopped betting the p4 they have due to the inclusion of low level claiming races along with 25 maiden claimers going a 1 turn mile. If I can' t handicap the races in the sequence with an opinion, i will pass, i will not throw money at it.

OTOH, if they had a carryover of $100K , there would at least be an incentive to GET Interested !

BTW - Gulfstream is not a major track, it is just the wintertime track where everyone goes to work on their tan while getting the horses ready for the season ahead. they have to start somewhere.
