City of Weston Our Pick in GP Feature

The  feature eighth race is coming up on the sloppy and sealed track at Gulfstream.

Post time is 4:05.

It is six furlongs on dirt for 4-year-olds and up, an allowance/optional claimer with a $46,000 purse.  There are seven entrants.

Our pick to win is City of Weston, trained by Peter Walder and ridden by Javier Castellano.

City of Weston, now at 4-1, has plenty of back class at Gulfstream and a decent record on off tracks.

He will be coming from off the pace and that style has led to several wins today.

City of Weston is in the five post, outside the speed of Blame Jim (4) and Dreaming of Neno (3)

Our suggested exacta box is City of Weston (5), Blame Jim (4) and  Trev (1) who has a good record on off tracks.

Blame Jim, with Pletcher and Velazquez, is the even money favorite and Trev is 12-1.

Gulfstream: Off the Turf Today, Rainbow 6 Has Carryover of $88,711

 HorseracingFLA Staff Report

Due to rain, Gulfstream Park has moved today’s five scheduled-for-turf races to the main track which as of 11:15 a.m. was listed as good.

First post for the ten-race card is 12:35 p.m.

There will be a carryover of $88,711 on the Rainbow 6 on the day’s last six races.  The sequence begins on the fifth race, with scheduled post of 2:35 p.m.

The fifth and tenth races are the only two in the sequence that were scheduled for turf. As of 11:15 a.m. five of the fourteen entrants in the fifth race and ten of the sixteen entrants in the tenth race had been scratched—primarily because of the switch in surfaces.

Thus, there are no more than nine entrants in any of the Rainbow 6 races.  That could make it less difficult than usual to hit the bet, which is 20-cents only per combination with multiple horses permitted in each race.  For example, a ticket with two horses in each race has 64 combinations and costs $12.80.

The feature eighth race is six furlongs on dirt for 4-year-olds and up.  It is a $35,000 optional claimer with a $46,000 purse.

City of Weston, Blame Jim and Dreaming of Neno are likely favorites in the seven-horse field.  We will have a preview this afternoon on our blog.
