12/20: Gulfstream Park (5th-9th)

[Kasept]

Despite a good day overall Wednesday, came away from Gulfstream action bitterly disappointed with my tentative approach to the P5/P4 that left more than $8k on the table. Had no trouble identifying the winners in the eminently hittable sequences, but decision to spend $48 instead of $72 on the P4 cost $1,300 when Jay Eye See won the the 7th. The P5 paid a crazy $7k and a more aggressive attack had obvious potential to access it. The upside is there was a myriad of exotics and multis laid out and I was pleased to hear from a few people that scored well on the afternoon. Thursday sequence was a little less interesting in the handicapping process, but you never know. Hope you did well yesterday!
