Gulfstream and Turfway.

Today we look at Gulfstream and Turfway for a couple of competitive races.

Gulfstream Race 8 {1 mile~4 year old Up~Allowance}
A ten horse field assembles for this exceptionally competitive allowance race.  There are a number here that could win this one.  Nowhere to Hide (Rose / Zito) is a specialist at this distance. He is coming down in distance from his last out in which he achived a decent speed number.  Some quality work outs give him a very slight edge.  All of the horses in this race have had at least 30 days off since their last race.  Jet Set Vinny (Prado / Cambolati) in another specialist at this distance and will be a factor.  Roddickton (Lezcano / Matz) is a lightly raced horse with a good last out speed number and a couple of quality workouts following that effort.  We like Colors Flying (Castellano / McGaughey) for our show strategy.  He is coming down in distance from his last race and has put together the best workout tab.  Battle Plan (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) is a speedster that will be a strong factor in this race.  In preparation for this race he has the second best group of workouts.  Chief Bear (Coa / Baird) looks very solid with the highest last out speed number and a peaking workout tab.  Let's give this Gulfstream race a roll.

$2 SHOW:  #8 Colors Flying
10 CENT Superfecta:  #3 Nowhere to Hide / #5 Roddickton, #6 Jet Set Vinny / #8 Flying Colors, #5, #6 / #9 Battle Plan, #10 Chief Bear, #5, #6

Turfway Race 10 {6 1/2 furlongs~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Optional Claiming}
A good little race with a small, but competitive field.  Sweet Gladys (Pompell / Denzik) loves the surface and the all weather track. She is coming down in distance and shows a bullet workout in advance of this race.  Silver Time (McKee / Barkley) will vie for the victory.  She shows the highest speed numbers across the board.  Also, she has done well over the distance and at Turfway.  Willow Creek (Gonzalez / Casey) has put together the best set of workouts and will be closing in an effort to win.  Bamboo (Creed / Sims) will also be closing for a piece of the purse.  Let's play Turfway.
