Superfecta Sunday in South Florida

A little Florida sunshine on our Superfecta Sunday.

Gulfstream Park Race 11 {7 1/2 Furlongs~TURF~4 year-old Up~Claiming}

A reduced field of seven will hit the green in this claiming event. There should be enough speed to keep a swift pace to this long dash. Speed numbers are reasonably close giving the race a competitive feel to it. Our task is to string together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.

#3 Wage Acceleration (Gaffalione / C. Brown) should be the post-time favorite given the powerful connections. This lad holds the highest last out speed number and two solid workouts. He is 83% in the money from six career starts. His tactical speed will serve him well in this race.

#2 Waldi (J. Ortiz / DiAngelo) should be in contention with the highest speed number at the distance coming into this event. He loves the surface, distance and Gulfstream course. He is another with tactical speed and should travel close to the pace. He is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.

$2 SHOW.

#6 Wannabeaplayer (L. Saez / Walder) should challenge with the third highest last out speed number and a two race progression. This guy is yet another with the tactical speed to hang with the leadership. He is fantastic at this distance (85% itm) and over the Gulfstream course (83% itm).

#5 Cosmic Thunder (Rosario / Dixon) will benefit from a quick pace. He holds the fourth highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two hearty workouts. This lad is coming out of a longer route in his last and has hit the board in his only effort at this distance.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

#3 Wage Acceleration  +  #2 Waldi  +  #6 Wannabeaplayer  +  #5 Cosmic Thunder.

Stakes Saturday FOY

Stakes Saturday rolls up on us and we take a look at another Kentucky Derby prep with quite a few talented runners seeking Derby points.

Gulfstream Park Race 14 {Xpress Bet Fountain of Youth~G2~1 1/16 mile~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}

Another great crew of Derby aspirants will line up in this annual prep. There is sufficient speed to keep a strong pace on. Speed numbers are fairly close making this a super competitive event. It should be another exciting KD 144 prep race and one of the best races on this Stakes Saturday.

#6 Good Magic (J. Ortiz / C. Brown) is last year's 2 year-old champ making his season debut. The only millionaire in the bunch, he holds the highest last out speed number (prior to a modest layoff), a three race progression, and four outstanding peaking workouts. This son of Curlin has been well prepped by his connections. Sure to be overwhelming favorite we will make a token win wager on him.

$1 WIN.

#4 Strike Power (L. Saez / Hennig) will be stretching out, striving to make his third win in a row. He holds the second highest last out speed number and two solid peaking workouts. This guy has won those two over the Gulfstream track in his only career starts. A son of Speightstown, he will be part of the speedsters on the front end.

$1 PLACE  /  $2 SHOW.

#8 Marconi (Castellano / Pletcher) will be cutting back in distance for this one after achieving a 100% in the money record from three career starts. He holds the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number, a three race progression, and two sound workouts. A son of Tapit, he will be closing gallantly.

$1 SHOW.

#10 Promises Fulfilled (I. Ortiz / Romans) should challenge with a couple of decent last out speed numbers as he continues to improve. This lad has already hit the board at this distance and has put in a high charged four workout tab in preparation for his first 2018 start. A son of Shakleford, he should be part of the speed crew.

10 CENT Superfecta 

#6 Good Magic  /  #4 Strike Power  /  #8 Marconi, #10 Promises Fulfilled  /  ALL.
