Superfecta Sunday at the only Track Racing Today

On this Easter Sunday we take a look at a nice allowance race at the only track racing today...

Gulfstream Park Race 11 {6 Furlongs~3 year-old Up~Fillies/Mares~Allowance Optional Claiming}

A splendid field of nine will go into the gate in the penultimate race on the card. There is overwhelming speed in this one. Speed numbers are very close. A few in here will be racing at this distance for the first time. Our task is to blend together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta Box ticket.

#2 Flat Awesome Jenny (D. Davis / Breen) might have an edge if the pace boils over as she will be coming from off of it. She holds a decent last out speed number and one bullet workout. This gal is 57% in the money from fourteen career starts. A daughter of Flat Out, she loves the Gulfstream track. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$1 SHOW.

#3 Ms Meshak (Burgos / Orseno) should challenge with the second highest last out speed number. She holds a 66% in the money record at this distance.This lady will be tracking the pace closely. A daughter of Shackelford, she is 63% in the money from nineteen career starts.

#9 Baccarat Fashion (c. Landeros / Maker) will be in the mix with the fourth highest last out speed number and two hearty workouts. She loves the surface and distance and should be close to the pace. A daughter of Old Fashioned, she is 55% in the money from twenty career starts.

#6 Varanasi (Zayas / Pletcher) should contend as she comes off a modest layoff. She has recorded a victory over the Gulfstream track and will be racing at this distance for the first time. Look for her to be motoring on the front end. A daughter of Jimmy Creed, she is 57% in the money from seven career starts.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

#2 Flat Awesome Jenny  +  #3 Ms Meshak  +  #9 Baccarat Fashion  +  #6 Varanasi.

An Arky Stakes Saturday

A good day to watch and wager on horse racing as we all continue to be safe and secure against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Oaklawn Park Race 11 {Oaklawn Stakes~1 1/8 mile~3 year-old~Stakes}

While there are no KD 146 points available, this comes up as a very salty field of thirteen talented horses targeting that first Saturday in September as a race they wish to be in. All but two entrants are nominated to the Triple Crown. There is a good amount of speed to provide a decent spin around the track. Speed numbers are very close with only three having gone this distance already. It should be a very high quality race.

#4 Thousand Words (Talamo / Baffert) comes in from California to challenge this group. He holds the highest speed number (tie) over the dirt and three powerful peaking workouts. This lad should run close to the pace ready to break-away in the stretch. A son of Pioneer of the Nile, he has a 75% win rate from four career starts.
$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  / $5 SHOW.

#1 Basin (Geroux / Asmussen) will challenge with the third highest (tie) last out speed number and three strong peaking workouts. This guy should track the pace closely ready to score. He has already hit the board at the Oaklawn trrack. A son of Liam's Map, he is 100% in the money from four starts.
$2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#6 Shoplifted (Santana / Asmussen) should contend with the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number and four hearty peaking workouts. With the right pace set-up he should come running in the stretch. A son of Into Mischief, he is 57% in the money from seven career starts.
$2 SHOW.

#9 Digital (B. Hernandez / Calhoun) will be in the mix sharing the fourth highest last out speed number and three mighty peaking workouts. This guy shows the second highest speed number at the distance. Another son of Into Mischief, he should be traveling close to pace with his 75% in the money record from four career starts.

$1 Saturday Exacta Wheel ($3.00)

#4 Thousand Words  //  #1 Basin,  #6 Shoplifted,  #9 Digital.
