The skies are clearing around South Florida as Gulfstream
Park prepares for Sunday’s 11-race card, with first post of 12:50 p.m.
Following overnight rains, the dirt track was listed as
muddy and the turf course was
listed as good as of 10:00 a.m.
Conditions likely will be upgraded , perhaps before first
post. The Weather Channel forecast is for zero
percent chance of
rain through mid-afternoon and then rising to 15 percent through the end of
the race day.
Six races (the odd numbered ones) are scheduled
for turf.
There are no stakes races on the card.
The Sunday
card has a Rainbow 6 carryover of $30,729. The Rainbow 6 is on races six to eleven.
There
will also be a $12,156.66 Super Hi-5 carryover for Sunday's first race. On Saturday’s last two races, there were no
winning tickets on that bet which requires picking the first five finishers in
correct order.
Saturday Results
Diaz, at 5-1,
caught the 4-5 favorite Amigo in the
final strides to win by a nose in
Saturday’s tenth and featured race.
Megeve (8-1)
finished third by 2 ¾ lengths in the nine-horse field in the one-mile turf race
for three-year-olds and up.
It
was an allowance with a $43,000 purse
and a $16,000 optional claiming price.
None of the first three finishers were in for a tag.
Diaz
was ridden by Edgard Zayas and won in 1:35.06 on the course listed as
firm. Tamara Levy trains Diaz, a four-year-old
gelding, for IAB Stables.
The
win was Diaz’s third in a row, all on turf at Gulfstream. The previous two victories were in races with
lower claiming prices.
