Horse Racing picks for Gulfstream Park race track on Wednesday, January 4: Invaluable looks a great investment

The field leaves the gate for the start of the 67th running of the Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park

There is plenty of great horse racing across America on Wednesday, including at Gulfstream Park race track. We have been in fine form with our picks for a long time now and we are +211.52 units with our race selections to our recommended stakes dating back to August 5, 2021. Let’s keep it rolling!

Here are our best bets for today’s action at Gulfstream Park race track.

1:10 pm ET Gulfstream Park (Race 3) – Digital Software 6/5 (2-star play)

Digital Software has shown some solid form in 8 starts on turf to date but has been lightly raced since breaking his maiden over a mile in a $40,000 maiden claiming contest at Saratoga in August 2021.

He returned last year with a 1 3/4 length victory over a mile and 1/16th in a $35,000 waiver claiming event at the same venue and, having gone well fresh in the past, is taken to make a winning synthetic-surface debut on his first start since finishing 4th at Aqueduct in October. 

2:40 pm ET Gulfstream Park (Race 6) – Invaluable 7/5 (2-star play)

Invaluable joined her current connections following a half-length triumph in a $32,000 claiming contest over 6 furlongs at Saratoga at the start of September and built on a promising starter-allowance 3rd at Keeneland on her debut for Michael Maker when winning by 1 1/2 lengths in a stakes event over a mile on a sloppy track at Churchill Downs in November.

She looks up to delivering a victory returning to dirt following below-par effort on her synthetic-surface debut at Turfway Park subsequently. 

3:10 pm ET Gulfstream Park (Race 7) – Strokes 3/1 (2-star play)

Strokes showed ability when 5th over5 1/2 furlongs on her debut in July and put a subsequent disappointing effort behind her when winning a maiden over the same trip at Woodbine in September.

She followed that up with a good 3/4 length 2nd when upped to 6 furlongs for an allowance optional claimer at the same venue the following month. Given a break since then, the Caravaggio filly looks up to making a winning seasonal debut with Tyler Gaffalione booked to ride.
