Venue for Jan 7 . . .

[JolyB]

If you are looking for a Ky Derby prospect, you are more likely to find it in the Sham at Santa Anita rather than any of the Gulfstream races. At least it offers Derby qualifying points.

Runners in the Hutch at Gulfstream are more likely to be found in the entries to the Kings Bishop or other sprints, although the non graded Mucho Macho Man (I think that's a newly named race) might be used as a prep for the Holy Bull or Fountain of Youth.

Having said that, I'm perfectly happy playing any card you conjure up (since Kamloops is currently dark); both of the choices you suggested are good ones.
