Hit the Turf on Friday

Hopefully the rain stays away on this Friday so we may enjoy a Turf contest at Gulfstream and Fairgrounds.

Gulfstream Race 9 {1 mile~Turf~4 year old Up~Allowance}
With a little luck the rain holds off and we get this one on the turf.  It looks like a very nice competitive field.  Midnight Silver (Castellano / Domino) looks like the best with the highest speed number at the distance and four strong workouts.  Forgotten Dynasty (J. Velazquez / Benzel) will give close well with a solid last out speed number and two robust workouts.  D'Wildcard (Lezcano / Catalano) will also close in an attempt to grab the victory.  He has the second highest last out speed number and two hardy workouts.  East to West (Maragh / Nafzger) will share speed duties with Spectacular Kid (Baird / Leahy), but will be the one to hold on for a share of the purse.  He has a good last out speed number, a six race progression, and three husky workouts.  Stay Red (Rivera / Rizo) should also be able to grab a small piece of the purse with the highest last out speed number, a five race progression and the best workout tab with four sturdy, peaking workouts.  Let's play Gulfstream.

$2 SHOW:  #8 Midnight Silver
$2 SHOW:  #6 Forgotten Dynasty
10 CENT Superfecta:  #8 Midnight Silver / #6 Forgottten Dynasty / #4 D'Wildcard / #7 East to West, #3 Stay Red.

Fairgrounds Race 9 {1 1/16 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
A full field goes to the gate for this race.  There is also four "also eligibles" waiting in the wings should any scratches occur.  Shameless (Albarado / McGee) looks like she might have a slight edge with the highest last out speed number and a decent workout.  Paradise Bound (Valenzuela / Mott) also looks fine with a decent last out speed number, a five race progression, and two sinewy workouts.  Notexactlyagiven (Torres / Hanna) appears to be ready with a peaking three workout string.  Titanium Jane (Theriot / Pitts) will be in there seeking the victory as well.  She has a good last out speed number, a three race progression, and a healthy three peaking workout tab.  Let's hope this one goes on the Turf at Fairgrounds.

$2 SHOW:  #4 Shameless
$2 SHOW:  #9 Paradise
10 CENT Superfecta:  #4 Shameless / #9 Paradise / #1 Notexactlyagiven / #7 Titanium Jane.
