4/20/14 Gulfstream Park Rainbow Six - Preview

Happy Easter everyone!  Hope you all are enjoying yourselves this weekend, however you are spending it.  We turn to South Florida today and take a run at Gulfstream Park's Rainbow Six.

RACE 3 - OC 62k/N2X - Eight Furlongs Dirt

A’s

# 3 Kings Over (Morning Line 5-2)

C’s

# 6 Apriority (ML 5-1)

The last three times Kings Over has routed on a fast dirt track he has earned Beyer Speed Figures at or near par for today's class level.  Eliminate the stakes tries from his recent form and Apriority has a Win, a Place, and a Show in his last three races.

RACE 4 - OC 50k/SAL 50k - Eight Furlongs Turf

A’s

# 6 Meuser (ML 3-1)
# 9 Drover Road (ML 5-2)

C’s

# 2 Daddy's Kid (ML 20-1)

Meuser can be expected to improve second off the layoff.  Drover Road gets some much needed class relief.  Daddy's Kid ran well late last time out, his first try at a route.  

RACE 5 - Clm $20k N2L - Six Furlongs Dirt

A's

# 6 Caminito (ML 3-1)
# 8 Facundo (ML 5-1)

C's

None

Caminito tries winners for the first time after graduating at the $25k level with a clear two and three quarter length win.  Facundo took the Show last time out against more expensive, and should benefit from the shortened distance.

RACE 6 - Md $20k - Five Furlongs Turf

A’s

# 1 Stash the Cat (ML 5-1)
# 7 Trouble With Girls (ML 3-1)
# 10 Song for Krismike (ML 2-1)

C’s

# 4 Lador Vador (ML 6-1)

Stash the Cat returns to the grass and dons the blinkers for the first time; expect him to be forwardly placed early.  Trouble With Girls takes a big step down the class ladder; the last time he competed at this level he took the Place in a contest that was moved to the main track.  Song for Krismike has flashed early speed both times she's been on the grass; but she may be compromised by the outside post.  Lador Vador rallied late to take the Show at this level last time out.

RACE 7 - Clm $12.5k N3L - Eight Furlongs Dirt

A's

# 2 Van Citra (ML 5-2)
# 3 Sin Mirar Atras (ML 3-1)
# 8 Seven Ten Split (ML 4-1)

C's

None

Van Citra has earned Beyer Speed Figures better than par for this level the last two times that he's routed on a fast dirt track.  Sin Mirar Atras took the Place against open claimers his last time out, and moves to a barn that gets approximately 36% winners first time off a claim.  Seven Ten Split makes his debut on a fast dirt track after doing reasonably well on the grass despite not having a strong turf pedigree.

RACE 8 - (F) The Safari Queen $75k - Five Furlongs Turf

A's

# 3 Madame Giry (ML 2-1)

C's

# 4 Coarsegold (ML 4-1)

# 8 What a Party (ML 3-1)

Madame Giry is a standout here going by career earnings, but she's disappointed as the Post Time Favorite in five of her last nine starts, and she's yet to visit the Gulfstream Park Winner's Circle.  Coarsegold is a stakes winner over this turf course (albeit via disqualification) and has yet to finish out of the Trifecta when competing on the Gulfstream Park grass.  Toss out that attempt at routing and What a Party is just a half length away from being four-for-her last four when racing at today's distance on the grass.

Now, while the Rainbow Six is a jackpot wager (with a pool that currently stands at over five million dollars) I don't see anything in my selections above the could possibly work out to being a sole winning ticket.  Therefore, we're going to play this one like a normal Pick Six wager, constructing our tickets Crist style; which works out as follows:

All A Entries

$0.40 P6: 3 with 6,9 with 6,8 with 1,7,10 with 2,3,8 with 3 $14.40

A's with One C

$0.20 P6: 6 with 6,9 with 6,8 with 1,7,10 with 2,3,8 with 3 $7.20

$0.20 P6: 3 with 2 with 6,8 with 1,7,10 with 2,3,8 with 3 $3.60

$0.20 P6: 3 with 6,9 with 6,8 with 4 with 2,3,8 with 3 $2.40

$0.20 P6: 3 with 6,9 with 6,8 with 1,7,10 with 2,3,8 with 4,8 $14.40

Total: $42.00

Post Time for Race 3 is 2:27 EDT / 11:27 PDT.  Good luck to all.

Peace and Love,
