Saturday's feature race at Gulfstream is the $100,000 Mr. Prospector Stakes (Grade 3) at seven furlongs on dirt for 3-year-olds and up.
Scheduled post time is 4:36 p.m.
The track is listed as fast and there are eleven entrants, with no scratches thus far.
Our pick to win is Uno Mas Modelo, the 2-1 morning line favorite.
This 5-year-old gelded son of Macho Uno is coming off a win in the Claiming Crown Rapid Transit on Dec. 1--also at seven furlongs on the dirt at Gulfstream.
Albin Jimenez has the return mount for trainer Anthony Quartorolo and owner Loooch Racing.
Uno Mas Modelo has a late-running style, which should benefit him in the Mr. Prospector. Three of the other top contenders likely will battle each other for the early lead--setting the race up for closers.
Those speed horses are Coal Front (Todd Pletcher-John Velazquez), Kroy (Armando De La Cerda-Paco Lopez) and Conquest Big E (Donna Hurtak-Jose Ortiz).
Looch Racing and Quartorolo also have entered Storm Advisory, who could be a pace factor. Robby Albarado has the mount.
Sweetontheladies is a likely long-shot who should be considered for exotic bets. He is a closer who has hit the board in multiple graded stakes. Regular rider Marcos Meneses has the mount for trainer Henry Collazo.
Predicted finish
1 -- Uno Mas Modelo (8)
2 -- Coal Front (11)
3 -- Sweetontheladies (1)
4 -- Kroy (2)
5 -- WIld Shot (7)
Recommended bets:
*$5 win and $5 show on 8
*$5 show on 1
*$1 exacta box on 1-2-8-11
