We begin our horse racing weekend on this Thursday at wonderful Oaklawn Park.
Oaklawn Park Race 8 {1 1/16 mile~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
A great group of nine fillies and mares will line up for this allowance feature. All have speed numbers very close to one another over this route distance. There is sufficient speed to keep the pace together and there is enough tracking the pace to keep it interesting. This one should be a very good race.
#6 Come Acorkin (Court / Compton) looks very strong with the second highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and two robust peaking workouts. She should press or track the pace ready to strike in the stretch. This gal is 100% in the money at the distance over four starts.
$2 SHOW.
#8 Sheza Roman Ruler (Santana / Asmussen) will challenge with the fourth highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and three stout, peaking workouts. This gal could be the speed of the race that holds on through controlled fractions.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#4 Fast Bobbi J (Vazquez / Sims) should contend with the highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and one solid workout. She should track the pace looking to out gun the others in the stretch run.
#1 Pedestrian (Quinonez / D.K. Von Hemel) will be in the hunt sharing the highest last out speed number, holding a two race progression, and putting in one hearty workout. She should be able to track and close efficiently.
10 CENT Superfecta
None is offered for this race.

Superfecta Sunday at Gulfstream Park
Another Superfecta Sunday falls upon us. Today we look at a highly competitive graded stakes race.
Gulfstream Park Race 10 {Hurricane Bertie~G3~6 1/2 furlongs~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
A very talented field of eleven older gals are expected to make the start in this annual sprint stakes. This race is filled with high octane speed which may develop into a speed dual. It is a challenging race to guage. Let's try to cobble a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#2 R Holiday Mood (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) will be part of the speedster pack with a couple of decent last out speed numbers, the highest speed number at the distance (4-way tie), and two diligent workouts. She favors the Gulfstream track which may give her a slight edge.
#6 Golden Mystery (Saez / Wolfson) will challenge with the third highest last out speed number and two robust workouts. She shares the highest speed number at the distance. Another who loves the Gulfstream Park track, she should use her tracking capability to great advantage.
#9 Emma's Encore (Alvarado / Jerkens) could surprise with a couple of decent last out speed numbers, a two race progression, and three sensational workouts. This gal appears ready to fire with a strong closing kick. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.

Ahh, Superfecta Sunday arrives so fast each week. Today we take a gander at a mile Turf race at luxurious Tampa Bay Downs.
Tampa Bay Downs Race 7 {1 mile~TURF~4 year old Up~Allowance Optional Claiming}
A equally competitive group of nine will go to the grass. Only a few are in for the tag. The speed is modest and likely to allow the forwardly placed to have their way with this field. It should be a good race over the Turf.
#4 Royal Hill (Allen / Rountree) can be considered the sole speed in the race and with nicely paced fractions, could wire this field. He shows the highest last out speed number, the highest speed number at this distance, a three race progression, and the highest speed number over the Tampa Bay course. Watch him run.
#6 Ridin' Wild (DeLa Cruz / Patrick) could be one of those pressing the pace with the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and a stout 83% in the money record in twelve career starts. He appears to be in top form and should challenge well.

#1A Dynamic Sky [ONT-C] (Contreras / Casse) could very well be the one to beat with the highest (3-way tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and two solid workouts. His coupled entry, #1 Northern Lion (Husbands / Casse) is no slouch either with his tactical speed, a win at this distance and three hearty workouts. Either one of these guys could pull off the victory.
$1 WIN / $1 SHOW.
