There is plenty of great horse racing action to look forward to across America on Wednesday, including at Gulfstream Park race track. We have been in fine form with our picks for a long time, up 261.25 units dating back to August 5.
Here are 4 runners we expect to perform well today. It’s time to dive in and discuss these potentially profitable plays.
3:05 pm Gulfstream Park (Race 6) – Current Situation 3/1
Race 6 at Gulfstream Park is a $31,000 Claiming event for the female division over an extended mile on the all-weather track and I like the horse in stall four, Current Situation, who won a similar contest here two starts ago and can go well again. That victory over a mile and a sixteenth, which is just slightly longer than this trip of a mile and seventy yards, was a convincing two and three quarter length win back in December and if she turns up in the same mood then she will take some stopping.
3:37 pm Gulfstream Park (Race 7) – Embolden 15/1
Brendan Walsh’s Extravagant Kid is likely to be tough to beat in this $62,000 Allowance Optional Claiming contest but he will go off a short price and was beaten in a Listed event last time out so it’s worth looking elsewhere, and with that in mind, Michael Maker’s Embolden may be the answer. Luis Saez’s mount has gone well in some good races in the past and he’s only a five-year-old so has a good few years on the likely favourite and he has a good draw in stall two so he represents good value in this.
4:11 pm Gulfstream Park (Race 8) – Hero Tiger 3/1
A field of seven are set to go to post for the penultimate race at Gulfstream Park which is a $24,000 Starter Optional Claimer over a mile and I like the chances of Hero Tiger who is a five-time winner at this course and has also been placed here on multiple occasions. Four of his last five starts have been in this grade and with form figures of 4312 it is easy to make a case for him especially given the fact he recorded his highest ever speed figure when second over course and distance last time out.
4:42 pm Gulfstream Park (Race 9) – Straight Time 8/1
The ninth and final race at Gulfstream Park is a five furlong turf Maiden Optional Claiming race for a purse of $43,000 and it’s the son of Not This Time, Straight Time, who’s best run of three so far came over this course and distance of five furlongs on the turf so he can go well at a price. He finished fifth of nine in that race back here in December and is the type of horse to improve with experience so an improved performance is expected from him here.
