1/22: Gulfstream (5th-11th)

[Kasept]

Endured frustrating beats for three-quarters of the day before finally catching fire at Fair Grounds late. Missing a $16k P4 was no pleasure certainly when I left $64 Atlantic Titan off the ticket, but $32.80 Inspired in the Pan Zareta resulted in big P3 ($580) and triple ($456) hits. The Lecomte tri of $121 was surpringly generous too given it included the three favorites. So after leaking bankroll for a few hours, things roared home and I hope many did well. Gulfstream with a good slate today..

POST-SCRATCHES


5th: ALW/N1X, 4+, 1m (P3, DD, Super)

Terrific, well-matched group. Would love to completely against Simba's Story (2-1) but there's a chance that no one runs with him early. Several here have run faster than him, but he is 2nd off the break and kept nice company as a 3yo..

Best Value: #8 Self Control 6-1 DH-2nd
Next Best: #7 Simba's Story 2-1 WON ($7.60)
Exotics Use: #4 Voodoo Storm 5-1 5th
Super Add: #5 E. H. Indy 4-1 DH-2nd


6th: MSW, 3yo-F, 9f-T/108' (P6, P3, DD, Super)

Interesting and wide open set of turf missies with 3 high profile (Mott, Matt, McGaughey) firsters involved. Romans sends Tapitsfly sister Marlin Mission 2nd of break. Motion/TVI grey M'Dearest gets a big pilot upgrade..

Best Value: #7 M'Dearest 6-1 3rd
Next Best: #10 Marlin Mission 7-2 4th
Exotics Use: #4 Manda Bay 4-1 2nd
Super Add: #9 Cheimon 10-1 WON ($17.40)


7th: CLM, 4+, 1m (P5, P3, DD, Super)

9th: MSW, 3yo-F, 6f (P3, DD, Super)

Only one here has made a start (#4 On the Same Page) and after that you have to rely on trainer acumen, work pattern & pedigree. Albertrani has been sending firsters out sharp since fall and Zo Impressive (Hard Spun) is out of SW Zoftig making her a half to MSW Zaftig...

Best Value: #10 Zo Impressive 10-1 WON ($24.40)
