Into a wonderful Independence weekend we take a peek at a swell Turf race for Furlong Friday.

Gulfstream Park Race 4 {7 1/2 Furlongs~TURF~3 year-old Up~Maiden Claiming}

#1 Reorganize (Prado / Braddy) has already hit the board at this distance twice. He holds the fourth highest last out speed number and is on a three race progression. Safe to say this guy enjoys the Turf. A son of Data Link, he has the tactical speed to stay the course.
$1 WIN  /  $2 SHOW.

#4 Good Timing Man (Rendon / Biacone) should challenge with a couple of decent last out speed numbers and one hearty workout. This lad holds the highest speed number at the distance. A son of Overdriven he should run close to the pace and strike in the stretch.

#6 Spanned (Zayas / Maker) will go off as the deserved favorite as he drops in from a Maiden Special Weight race where he scored the highest last out speed number amongst this group. He has put in a powerful peaking workout tab of four works in preparation. A son of Arch, he should be forwardly place ready to score.

#8 Taranto (Panici / Sancal) should contend with the second highest last out speed number at a route and three superb peaking workouts. He likes the surface of the Gulfstream course. A son of the great Gio Ponti, he has every chance of winning this one on the front end if he is sent.

A Turfy Superfecta Sunday along the Jersey Shore

As some of the premiere tracks near the end of their Spring season, there are still some exceptional Turf races as we move deeper into the Summer. On this Superfecta Sunday we take a look at a wonderful Turf race near the Jersey shore.

Monmouth Park Race 9 {Open Mind Stakes~1 1/16 mile~TURF~3 year-old~fillies~Stakes}

A beautiful group of nine fillies will gallop on the green in this featured Stakes race. There is enough speed and forwardly placed types to maintain an honest pace. Speed numbers are fairly close for a sure, competitive feel. All have terrific Turf pedigrees which will make it enjoyable to watch. Our task is to string together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket. It should be one of the smashing Turf races of the day.

#2 Valiance (Juarez / Pletcher) looks to achieve her third victory in a row during her short career. She holds the second highest last out speed number and two sound workouts. This gal has a strong affinity for the Turf and should show great improvement as she challenge this fine group of battle wary gals. A daughter of Tapit, this gal should be forwardly placed ready to strike. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$1 SHOW.

#9 Beautiful Lover (Bravo / C. Brown) could go off as the favorite as she has rattled off three successive victories. She holds the third highest (tie) last out speed number and three tried and true C. Brown workouts. She loves the Turf and this distance. A beautifully bred daughter of Arch, she will come a running in the closing strides of the race.

#8 La Feve [FR] (Lynch / Motion) should pose a mighty challenge with the fourth highest last out speed number and three superb workouts. She will make her first start over the Jersey Turf. This gal appears to in fine form coming off a modest freshening. A daughter of George Vancouver, she should track the pace closely ready to spring into the stretch.

#6 Karama (Carmouche / Pino) should be the controlling speed of the race and has the potential to don the ski mask and take it on the front end. She holds the highest last out speed number and two fine workouts. This gal loves the Turf and distance. A daughter of Kitten's Joy, she is 100% in the money from three career starts.
