There is plenty of great horse racing action to look forward to across America on Thursday, including at Gulfstream Park race track. We have been in fine form with our picks for a long time, and our picks are up 242.15 units dating back to last August. On Wednesday we picked 2 winners in 4 races for a profit of 9 units, including one 8/1 longshot success.
Here are 3 runners we expect to perform well today. It’s time to dive in and discuss these potentially profitable plays.
1:33 pm Gulfstream Park (Race 2) – Ghostliner 8/5
Ghostliner has demonstrated good form in 2 starts since switching to this venue following a couple of runs at Woodbine. He followed up a 4th-place finish in a 6-runner 6-furlong dirt maiden optional claimer at this track in December with a career-best figure in winning by 4 lengths when making much of the running in a $40,000 maiden optional claiming event over 5 furlongs on turf at the start of last month. He can complete a double having drawn the rail.
2:35 pm Gulfstream Park (Race 4) – Royal War 8/5
Royal War took a while to break his maiden, delivering no fewer than 6 on-the-board finishes prior to winning
at the 10th time of asking in a $16,000 maiden claiming contest over a mile and 70 yards on the all-weather at this track in October. His best effort in 2 starts since came when finishing 3rd over the same trip in a $20,000 claiming contest at this venue in early January. Dropping in grade, he looks likely to prove hard to beat with Junior Alvarado up.
4:37 pm Gulfstream Park (Race 8) – Nostalgic 2/1
Nostalgic made an impressive start to her racing career when racing from off the pace prior to leading in the straight and drawing 7-and-three-quarter-lengths clear of her rivals in a mile-and-one-sixteenth maiden special weight at Belmont Park in October. She has struggled in Graded stakes company since, including when 9th in the Grade 3 Sweetest Chant Stakes on turf at this track early last month. She switches to dirt now and can score down in grade with Lasix applied for the first time.
