Gulf 6th Race

[alphanumeric1]

I am interested in anyone's opinion of Go Swiftly in today's 6th at Gulfstream. I know that this horse was picked up by Iwinski for 250K at last fall's Keeneland November mixed sale. I haven't seen much of Iwinski in the last year or two. I thought he retired or semi-retired for health reasons.

(Tuesday's session-topper was the $250,000 Go Swiftly, a 2-year-old racing or stallion prospect that Allen Iwinski bought from WinStar Racing, as agent. Go Swiftly is by Gone West out of the Danzig mare Dance Swiftly.)
I think tossing Go Swiftly's turf race and considering his good second to Monba makes him worth a look (especially at 5-1 or higher).
Anyone want to chime in?

He's definitely interesting. For all the reasons you mentioned and also being first time dirt. The first time Pletcher, Jimmy Simms, also has to be respected.

iwinski also seems to be "hot" lately

Agree on the Pletcher horse --- though I'd be alot more impressed if he didn't have a clear rail run his only time out.

Go Swiftly got run down by, what I consider to be, a very good turf horse last time out. Then again, he seems to always get run down.

Those of us that believe in trainer changes have to be honing in on these two horses. Iwinski was an extremely good trainer before his physical problems kept him out of the game.

Thanks for the input. I respect your opinions. Anybody got any weather/track conditions for Gulf yet?

They're on the turf. Track is listed as fast and turf is listed as yielding ( which means it's firm but they're justifying being off yesterday ).

Mostly sunny, 68 deg and very breezy. They have it Fast/Yielding on the GP site. My guess the turf will be good, not yielding.
