Horse Racing LOCK ALERT – Gulfstream Park Pick 3
Pick 3 Saturday: Beating Pashito The Che in the Sunshine Millions Sprint and Soldier’s Dancer in the Sunshine Millions Turf is the Key to Profits
Race-day: 1/30/2010
1st-Leg: 4:33 pm EST
Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita Park host the 2010 Sunshine Millions Classic. Purses have been cut for a number of races, a couple of sprint races have been axed from the card, and the overall feeling regarding the Sunshine Millions Classic just isn’t the same.
Boo-hoo, right? Who cares if we can cash a nice Pick 3 ticket! That’s what I’ll be trying to do on Saturday. The key to cashing that all elusive profitable ticket is to try and beat Pashito The Che in the Sprint and Soldier’s Dancer in the Turf. Check it out below:
Sunshine Millions: Gulfstream Park Pick 3
Race 8 – Sunshine Millions Sprint Stakes
6 furlongs
For Four Year Olds and Up CTBA or FTBOA Registered
Horses Used: 6-This One’s For Phil
Analysis: This One’s For Phil returns to the barn of Richard Dutrow. That makes him an automatic bet in this to me, but if that fact wasn’t enough t o convince you, how about his last two works? He busted 6 furlongs in 1:12 and change and 5 furlongs in :59. Both works were the fastest of the day. The jock switch to John Velasquez should help as well. Pashito The Che is going to be tough, no doubt, but you have to take a stand somewhere in the Pick 3. I’m taking a stand in the 1st leg.
Race 9 – Sunshine Millions Distaff
1 1/8 miles on dirt
For Fillies Four Years Old and Up CTBA or FTBOA Registered
Horses Used: 4-Sweet Repent, 7-Jessica Is Back, 8-Scolara
Analysis: Sweet Repent has won 4 races in a row for Trainer David Braddy and will come into this off of a terrific 5 furlong work in :59 and 1 on January 22nd. She has every right to romp in this but jockey Manuel Cruz is 0 for 18 at this meet. Jessica Is Back finished 2nd to Sweet Repent two races ago. She gets Julien Leparoux and trainer Martin Wolfson is a master with horses off of a layoff. A big knock is that she faces other speed in here. Scolara is my long shot entry in this. She goes turf to dirt for trainer Bill Mott, switches from the 11% winning jockey Kent Desormeaux to the 20% winning jockey J.J. Castellano and is12 to 1 on the morning line.
Race 10 – Sunshine Millions Turf
1 1/8 miles on turf
For Four Years Old and Up CTBA or FTBOA Registered
Horses Used: 3-Duke Of Mischief, 4-Bad Action, 8-Soldier’s Dancer, 11-Jet Propulsion
Analysis: Like I wrote above, one of the keys to cashing a nice ticket is to beat Soldier’s Dancer in the Sunshine Millions Turf. Can it be done? Absolutely it can! Soldier’s Dancer is 7 out of 14 races at this distance and has won 12 out of 32 lifetime, but his jockey, Manuel Cruz, is 0 for 18 at the Gulfstream Park meet. Why not try to beat him? Duke of Mischief is better on dirt than turf but he did beat Kiss The Kid and Mambo Meister in his last. His morning line is 8 to 1 in this, which makes him an overlay. Bad Action, should he run in this (he’s cross-entered in the Sunshine Millions Classic) goes to the barn of Todd Pletcher. He’s an automatic “use” because of that. Jet Propulsion switches barns to Martin Wolfson and is coming off of a layoff. Wolfson is 30% winners with horses coming off of a layoff and 56% winners with his 1st claimers.
1 x 3 x 4 = 12 combinations
