An allowance/optional claiming race for two-year-olds at
six furlongs on dirt is the feature race on Friday’s card at Gulfstream Park.
It is the second race, with scheduled post of 1:23 p.m.
The field is down to just four, following the
morning scratch of Francesco Appeal for what
the Gulfstream Web site noted as “veterinarian” reasons.
The remaining runners all have one win and potential
as stakes horses. Thus, it should be a fun race for watching if not for betting.
There are ten Friday races, with first post at 12:50
p.m.
Five races are scheduled for turf. The Weather Channel Forecast is for a 15
percent chance of rain during racing hours in Hallandale Beach, where
Gulfstream is located.
There is a carryover of $49,853 on the Rainbow 6, on races
five through ten.
By placing the small field feature as the second race,
Gulfstream kept it out of the Rainbow 6 and the Late Pick 5.
The race has a $43,000 purse and a $75,000 optional
claiming price. Thanksgod is the only
entrant in for the tag.
The others in the field are Sweetontheladies,
Chatiment and Inkspired.
We will have a preview and coverage this afternoon on our blog.
*On Saturday, Gulfstream will have 12 races with first
post of 12:35 p.m.
On Sunday, it will have eleven races with first post
of 12:50 p.m.
There are no stakes races either day.
Gulfstream’s next major stakes day will be Saturday
Sept. 3, with eight stakes races including the second legs in each of the four
divisions of the Florida Sire Stakes Series.
