4/3 (GP): FL Derby (G1), Swale (G2), Appleton, Skip Away (G3's)

How about that field for the Sir Shackelton for 67k?

Talk about Value...the racing office got plenty there.

Fantastic card. The maiden races are deep, allowance races came up strong and the stakes (for the most part) are interesting betting races.

The last race could be a grade 2 stake at most tracks. Mystic deserves a long look in there IMO.

[Fulla Sheets]

Goldikova's half brother, Ocean Seven, is in the 7th race. 1st start in North America with Pletcher.

Does anyone think Flashpoint can win if they leave him alone up front?

why not? this is gulfstream park we are talking about and i can't see to honor and serve or soldat running him down early...hes going to go as far as he can.....thats the question...how far can he go?

[dalakhani]

Kent D with no mounts in any of the stakes. Is he riding somewhere else or is he that far down on the ladder now?

I think he's all or nothing. Breaking outside going 9f at GP, even with a smallish field, is never easy. He'll have to gas it a bit early, and being a sprinter thus far, might be hard to settle down and end-up toast by the 3/8's pole. Or, I'm completely wrong, and he wires the field and is a supa-star.

flash in the pan is not the factor
sizzles then fizzles
to honor and serve gets my vote

I like Flashpoint to take them a long way and ensure that Soldat or To Honor and Serve get taken out of their game. They will be forced to run faster early than they want to and have nothing left when the real running starts. Stay Thirsty will take over in the lane and hold off Dialed In to win with Flashpoint holding for third.

how long will flashpoint stick around

If he was coming out of the 2 hole instead of the 8, I'd give him a shot to win, bur it's just too much to do with that track configuration at gp

Terrible Florida Derby. If scumbag on the outside doesn't steal the race then To Honor and Hardly Race should win it.

It's just a s.hit race of epic proportions. These horses suck.

[AeWingnut]

The consensus is that To Honor and Serve isn't going to get the distance

and Dialed in is just a closing sprinter

and Shackleford is a little warm

[Travis Stone]

Dialed In is okay going forward, but at this point, it's Uncle Mo's Derby to lose.

This is what happens when you let white collar criminals, mentally insane billionaire track owners, and fuzzy math snake oil salesmen take over.

It's not going to get better.

[randallscott35]

I am betting the Ill Derby winner.

No doubt. Despite that, a nice race by Dialed In to get up and a terrific effort by Shackleford.

[Betsy]

That was an awful race - Shackleford? Only Dialed In did any running; THAS never looked like he was getting past the winner and everyone else was basically a non-factor..
