Gulfstream Park will open its Spring-Summer meet April 4th at 1:15 PM, with 8 races on the card. Sixty Eight entries are listed: 4 dirt, 4 turf. No stakes races are planned.
On the last day of the Champions Meet, which ended Sunday, three favorites won on the day, with a 30:1 win by Farley in the 7th race the only surprise. As Saturday was the Florida Derby Day, with a $47.5 million handle, Sunday was surprisingly strong at $8.3 million.
Seventy-eight starters ran with just 3 turf races. We suspect Gulfstream wanted to allow the turf to 'heal' after the 80 starters galloped on the grass Saturday. The change from a 5 day to 4 day schedule now will also help the turf courserecover over this Spring and Summer.
Gulfstream ended the Champions Meet with a $910.23 million total handle vs. $929.01 for the prior year.
Rainbow 6 Carryover: Forty-Seven starters ran Sunday in the Rainbow 6, with $5,102 paid out to 18 winners. The Late pick 4 and 5 paid $117.90 and $2994 respectively as the high odds winner Farley was in both race sequences. Gulfstream will have a carryover of $39,363 in the Rainbow Thursday. That's the sole carryover.
The Rainbow 6 carryover commences in race 3 with an approx. post time of 2:15 PM.
