Horse Racing picks for Gulfstream Park race track on Saturday, January 29: Just One Time is all we need

1:27 pm Gulfstream Park (Race 5) – Always Shopping 7/5

The winner of this race 12 months ago the daughter of Awesome Again delivered her first victory since that success when scoring by a nose to register back-to-back victories in the mile-and-three-eighth Via Borghese Stakes on turf here at the end of last month. The step back up in trip is no issue for Todd Pletcher’s charge and having delivered a 49.37 four furlong breeze at Palm Beach Downs she looks up to scoring under Tyler Gaffalione.

2:31 pm Gulfstream Park (Race 7) – Abaan 2/1

Todd Pletcher’s charge took six starts to break his maiden with that victory coming at Saratoga in early September but he hasn’t looked back since registering wins in two of his three subsequent starts. The son of Will Take Charge made all to win by four-and-a-half-lengths in the two mile H. Allen Jerkens Stakes here last month and with further improvement possible the five-year-old is taken to record a first Graded success dropping back to a mile-and-a-half.

3:03 pm Gulfstream Park (Race 8) – Just One Time 3/1

The winner of four of her five starts last year the four-year-old delivered 100+ figures in each of her last two starts including when registering an impressive five-and-three-quarter-length victory in the New Start Stakes over six furlongs at Penn National in October. Has delivered four clocked works at Fair Grounds this month and the Not This Time filly looks capable of making the perfect start to her 2022 campaign by recording her first Graded stakes success.

3:36 pm Gulfstream Park (Race 9) – Regal Glory 2/1

The nine time winner registered here first win at the highest level when making all to score by two-and-a-half-lengths in the Matriarch Stakes over a mile at Del Mar at the end of November. Had previously finished runner-up in the Grade 1 First Lady Stakes at Keeneland. Sets the standard on form here and the Animal Kingdom mare looks capable of making her first start in Florida a winning one with Jose Ortiz booked for the ride.

5:34 pm Gulfstream Park (Race 10) – Knicks Go 6/5

A winner at the Breeders’ Cup winner in each of the last two years Brad Cox’s charge opened his 2021 campaign with a two-and-three-quarter-length victory in this race. Subsequently registered four wins from six starts culminating in a Breeders’ Cup Classic success over a mile-and-a-quarter at Del Mar in early November. Impressed when delivering a 1:00.40 five furlong work at Fair Grounds recently and can cement his place as the top older horse by registering back-to-back victories in this race.
