One Great Race at Gulfstream

On this first Saturday in February we look at a great race at Gulfstream.

Gulfstream Race 10 {Donn handicap~G1~1 1/8 mile~4 year old Up~Stakes}
This race will be a real test for the sensational Quality Road (J. Velazquez / Pletcher).  This fine horse has been 100% in the money with the eight career races he has run.  A Kentucky Derby aspirant in 2009, he was forced off the Derby trail due to an injury.  Trainer, Todd Pletcher has plotted a terrific comeback path.  After a victory and the highest last out speed number, he has posted three quality peaking workouts for this grade one stakes race.  The is a race he can win against a strong field.  Past the Point (Prado / McLaughlin) has the second highest last out speed number coupled with two fierce workouts. It looks like he will run right near the front with Quality Road.  Mambo Meister (Desormeaux / Gleaves) has posted a decent last out speed number and two ferocious workouts.  The battle for the rest of the purse will be between three fabulous horses.  Kiss the Kid (Castro / Tarrant) is 100% in the money at Gulfstream.  He also shares the highest last out speed number with Quality Road and another, Duke of Mischief (Coa / Fawkes).  Both have decent workouts in concert with their last races.  Dry Martini (Castellano / Tagg) is the other who will battle for a piece of the purse.  He shows a strong speed number at the distance and has put in a fantastic workout before this race.  Let's make a good play at Gulfstream.
