Lets see what we can do with Thursday's late and only pick four at Gulfstream Park. It starts in race six and we will play it for 50 cents and see if we can get some oddball long shots to make it a worthwhile play.
Race 6 – 7 Furlongs, Maiden 40K
The first leg of this pick four is a complete crap shoot to me. The two fillies that intrigue me most are both Canadian shippers from Woodbine. Sarcasm and Make My Money are both coming from up north and are trained by Josie Carrol and Brian Lynch respectively. They both showed they can run tough and finished solid in all their starts in Canada. I think a trip down to the warm weather of Gulfstream can only do these fillies good. First time start C.R. Princess also intrigues me because she is from Officer and Officer lets them fly to start their careers hitting at a 19% win clip. Javier Castellano gets the mount and this filly has shown great speed in training. The other two fillies I used are both trying to break through the maiden ranks after multiple tries Satan's Plume and Spring Mambo. So we will spread this race using the 3,4,6,8, and 10.
Race 7 – 1 Mile (Turf), Allowance $49.5K n3x
I also spread in this turf event because I really had no conviction on any horse. I really like Drilling For Oil a Ken McPeek trained five year old and the always reliable Elvis Trujillo is abroad. He has great tactical speed but is not the greatest at the mile distance being 0 for 2. But Drilling for Oil is not the only horse that has shown a weakness at the mile distance. I three other horses in this race as well. Parading is a game five year old and unlike others in the race shows a liking to the mile distance. Westmoreland is another intriguing six year old with Rene Douglas aboard. He has shown a versatility to win from the lead or the back of the pack on the turf. The last of the four I used is I'm Only Laughing a six year old trained by Tim Hills and has Eiber Coa in the reins. He has only started twice on the turf both times at the mile distance and has shown game efforts in both starts. Four deep in the seventh with the 1,2,7, and 8.
Race 8 – 7 Furlongs, Allowance 43K n2x
Race eight brings about my single play for this pick four sequence. I really like the four year old colt Tsali. He is a lightly raced four year old with only six career starts and two wins. He is dropping a bit in class too from a 62.5K optional claimer two weeks ago at Gulfstream Park where he showed a game effort finished third. But if you watch the race you can tell he had a rough start being checked once at the beginning by jockey Joe Bravo. Yet still the colt fought back from a five length deficit to finish third back a length and a quarter. Tsali has shown the ability to run from off the pace which should do wonders in this race with four of the other five horses looking to take the lead. I’m expecting and hoping for a :22 flat first quarter which should be easy for Tsali to go after. Just to add some more glory to this horse, it’s his second race off a six month layoff and he has been working incredibly sharp. The icing on the cake is Nike Zito trains Tsali and is hitting at a 23% clip during the meet, currently the hottest trainer at Gulfstream. So cheers to my single the 2, Tsali.
Race 9 – 5 Furlongs (Turf), Maiden Claiming 25K
I don’t really have anything to say about this race because I have no past performances in front of me, which equals not good. So I am going to use three ponies here with the 3,5, and 10. And three great names at that with Amarone, Investaknot, and Tzintzitcha. What a name Tzintzitcha, how do you even pronounce that?
.50 Cent Pick Four Play: 3,4,6,8,10 / 1,2,7,8 / 2 / 3,5,10 à $30
