Our horse racing weekend begins with a very competitive downhill Turf romp.
Santa Anita Park Race 5 {6 1/2 furlongs~downhill TURF~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Claiming}
A field of ten closely matched gals will make the downhill start. There is plenty of speed in this one which should make for a very swift pace. The speed numbers come up roughly comparable which will make it a good handicapping challenge.
#6 Creditcardroulette (Talamo / Proctor) should get a sound pace to run into. She holds the second highest last out speed number, a five race progression, and two robust workouts. This gal has one win from four starts on the hill.
$2 SHOW.
#1 Awe' Some Kitten (Maldonado / Bacorn) could be forwardly placed ready to strike with the highest (tie) last out speed number at a route, a four race progression, and two superb peaking workouts. This will be her first attempt on the downhill Turf course.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#8 Anita Marie (Bejarano / Knapp) should contend as she stretches out at a longer sprint down the hill. She shares the highest last out speed number, holds a four race progression, and has put in one stout workout. She has a versatile running style to keep her close to the front.
#7 Midnight Lady (Espinoza / Sadler) should also step out gamely in her first downhill effort with the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number and four excellent peaking workouts. She should be able to track the pace at great benefit.
#4 Promiscoussuances (M. Garcia / Miller) should be in the mix as the speedster that could lead the charge down the hill. She shares the fourth highest last out speed number and has cobbled together a two race progression. This gal holds a 75% in the money record on the downhill course from eight starts.
10 CENT Superfecta
#6 Creditcardroulette / #1 Awe' Some Kitten / #8 Anita Marie / #7 Midnight Lady, #4 Promiscoussuances.

Superfecta Sunday at Gulfstream
Can you believe it's Superfecta Sunday already?? Today we take in one of the best grade one's so far this year.
Gulfstream Park Race 12 {Donn Handicap~G1~1 1/8 mile~4 year old Up~Stakes}
A sensational field of eleven will take to the Gulfstream dirt in this grade one finale. This top notch field includes three millionaires plus a few that should hit that mark this year. There is very little speed, but a few that like to be forwardly placed. The fractions will be tactical. Of this crew, there are at least eight that could pull off the victory. Our task, once again, is to attempt to weave a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket together.
#3 Revolutionary (Castellano / Pletcher) could grab this one if he can stay reasonably close to the pace. He sports the third highest last out speed number which he earned after an extended layoff which helped stitch together a two race progression. He has put in two hearty workouts to boot. This guy appears ready to rumble through the stretch. He is our Bronze Horseshoe runner.
$1 SHOW.
#9 Bourbon Courage (Lezcano / Gorder) should challenge with a couple of very good last out speed numbers and four sensational peaking workouts. With a legitimate pace he could be on the cusp of a great performance. It helps that he loves the Gulfstream course holding the highest (tie) speed number over it.
#2 Will Take Charge (Saez / Lukas) is the one to beat with over three million in earnings is a terrific career so far. He holds the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number and has put in four superb peaking workouts. This guy should be closing furiously into a solid pace.
#5 River Seven (Rocco / Gonzalez) could be the pace setter with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three severely successful workouts. This lad shares the highest speed number over the Gulfstream course which earned him a victory. Watch out if these fellas let him loose on the lead.
10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)
#3 Revolutionary + #9 Bourbon Courage + #2 Will Take Charge + #5 River Seven.

Another Superfecta Sunday falls upon us. Today we look at a highly competitive graded stakes race.
Gulfstream Park Race 10 {Hurricane Bertie~G3~6 1/2 furlongs~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
A very talented field of eleven older gals are expected to make the start in this annual sprint stakes. This race is filled with high octane speed which may develop into a speed dual. It is a challenging race to guage. Let's try to cobble a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#2 R Holiday Mood (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) will be part of the speedster pack with a couple of decent last out speed numbers, the highest speed number at the distance (4-way tie), and two diligent workouts. She favors the Gulfstream track which may give her a slight edge.
#6 Golden Mystery (Saez / Wolfson) will challenge with the third highest last out speed number and two robust workouts. She shares the highest speed number at the distance. Another who loves the Gulfstream Park track, she should use her tracking capability to great advantage.
#9 Emma's Encore (Alvarado / Jerkens) could surprise with a couple of decent last out speed numbers, a two race progression, and three sensational workouts. This gal appears ready to fire with a strong closing kick. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.

Superfecta Sunday at Gulfstream Park
We close out our horse racing weekend by taking another shot at a 10 CENT Superfecta Box at magnificent Gulfstream Park.
Gulfstream Park Race 8 {1 1/16 mile~4 year old Up~Allowance}
A very good field of eight will go to the gate. It appears all the speed is in the outside three posts which could develop into an intense pace allowing for a closer to make a strong run.
Let's attempt to put together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta Box ticket.
#7 Jakesam (Castellano / Pletcher) is one of the speedsters coming off a thirty day freshening. He holds the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and three stout workouts. If he can tamp down on the pace he could emerge victorious.
#3 Unbridled Kimanchi (Contreras / Lynch) is another coming off a nice layoff with the fourth highest last out speed number and four fantastic workouts. This guy can be expected to close well in the stretch.
#2 Bombaquia (Bravo / Kimmel) is coming off a "marathon" distance Turf route showing the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and two superbly robust workouts. He is our bronze horseshoe runner that can be expected to track this crew and be in the money.
$2 SHOW.
#4 Sinorice (Leparoux / Zito) looks ready to make another step up with a couple of decent last out speed numbers, a three race progression, and two unencumbered workouts. He should be able to track and close nicely.
