Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks
Fair Grounds - Race #7
Picks |
Notes |
#11 Sister Ella |
She was sharp throughout in the score last out, and she draws well to force the issue from the outside with this group. Wouldn't be a surprise right back. |
#3 Olivia G |
She has been a bit underwhelming in her last two, so I'd be hesitant to sign on with too much enthusiasm, but her better stuff fits well with these. Wouldn't surprise. |
#5 She Has It All |
She showed a little heart in the debut when fighting for the pace early on, and she could be competitive here with any reasonable upside in the second start. |
Race Summary |
Sister Ella romped last out and has the pace to be the in frame from the start today, and I think she's a pretty solid lean in the late multi-race plays. |
Fair Grounds - Race #8
Picks |
Notes |
#2 The Prince's Spur |
He has been racing longer trips than he's going to get today, but the winner of his last went on to try the Pegasus World Cup, so there is a pretty noticeable class drop for him. |
#3 Fromanothamutha |
He has honest form, but he has proven to be more likely underneath with this sort of group, and he has tables to turn on some of these. |
#4 Brigade Commander |
He has some pace to get in the mix early on in a race without much other speed, and he could be tough to pull in late if he doesn't take much pressure early. |
Race Summary |
The Prince's Spur has run some pretty big races over the last year, and this feels like the softest spot he has seen in some time. Think it's his race if he comes back running. |
Fair Grounds - Race #10
Picks |
Notes |
#7 Shankinstine |
He has always been capable of the occasional dud, so I'm going to draw a line through that last one and hope he's ready to bounce back. Better today? |
#2 Tsuris |
His lack of pace has been a liability in those last couple starts, but he has been finishing with some enthusiasm and fits with the best here if he can hold that form. |
#10 Inspector Ed |
He has turned in some honest efforts when racing for this kind of price in the past, and his form isn't so dark if you forgive the two-back allowance run. |
Race Summary |
Shankinstine has some appeal after a mild late rally, as the long stretch today may give him enough time to get past these. |

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks
Gulfstream Park - Race #1
Picks |
Notes |
#1 BIG DREAMER (9-5) |
Stalked fleet-footed fave, lacked kick, worked bullet since then, drops in class. |
#5 SUPER SPIN (3-1) |
Has speed, has Paco, stayed on well after getting ‘floated’ in latest. |
#6 IT’S ONLY WORDS (8-1) |
Took back to last, rallied widest, finished third in same spot. |
Race Summary |
BIG DREAMER tracked the 4-to-5 winner while 4-wide, was carried out farther for the stretch drive and lacked late kick for twice this claiming price. She gets second-time Lasix, adds blinkers and should prove tough as the favorite. Play 1-5 and 1-6 exactas. |
Gulfstream Park - Race #2
Picks |
Notes |
#7 LEGENDARY PHANTOM (12-1) |
Plays catch-me-if-you can at a tempting price off the claim. |
#5 MODICA (7-2) |
Solid turf numbers for barn on 15-for-55 run with class droppers. |
#8 SALTED CARMEL (5-2) |
Exits MSW company, adds blinkers, lures Irad to ride for turf debut. |
Race Summary |
LEGENDARY PHANTOM chased torrid fractions and held second sprinting on the all-weather track last out. He chased the pace-setting favorite in a 6F turf sprint at Laurel Park in the race prior before tiring. He goes a route of ground for the first time and steps up in class while others step down. He should take some catching, nevertheless, for his new connections and is worth a win and place bet. |
Gulfstream Park - Race #6
Picks |
Notes |
#2 GREEK MOJO (8-1) |
Stepped up off claim, shut off with run, re-bid with good finish and gallop out. |
#4 MO TOURING (9-5) |
Lightly-raced 5yo won going long, then rallied 4-wide to just miss at 5-1/2F. |
#1 CHLOE’S TOY (4-1) |
Showed passing gear to win for higher tag, returns to level of D’Angelo claim. |
Race Summary |
GREEK MOJO advanced on the inside on the turn, checked in early stretch by rival drifting inward, then regrouped to finish third and gallop out well. The extra half furlong suits her well and the price is right to use her in a 1-2-4 exacta box. |

# 9 TEMPTING DEBUT GL 8/1
|
# 3 DNA 4/1
|
# 8 TDZ DASH OF CHILITOS 5/1
|
TEMPTING DEBUT GL is the most competitive bet in this contest especially at a such a nice price. Foals of this sire have given players quite good profits in their first starts. Deserves a chance given very solid bloodlines. DNA - The progeny of Freighttrain B have produced sharp figs running in their first asking, combining for a +3 ROI. Players may be making a dangerous move ignoring this conditioner working with a maiden first time starter. Gonzalez has him trained well to break quickly out of the starting gate. TDZ DASH OF CHILITOS - Risk takers using horses with this jockey and trainer combo have done very well as of late.

#3 FROMANOTHAMUTHA (ML=9/2)
#8 RECKER POINT (ML=6/1)
FROMANOTHAMUTHA - This gelding is in excellent condition right now. Ran second in the last race and comes back soon. RECKER POINT - Has happened upon a great spot this time around.
Vulnerable Contenders: #2 THE PRINCE'S SPUR (ML=7/2), #4 BRIGADE COMMANDER (ML=9/2), #6 SILVER HEIST (ML=5/1),
THE PRINCE'S SPUR - I think this probable favorite needs this race under his belt to start getting back into shape. Hard to keep following this sort of 'bridesmaid' horse. BRIGADE COMMANDER - Can't really be sure that the most recent fig of 93 is legitimate since it was acquired on a muddy track. SILVER HEIST - Not a race since May 4th, probably too long ago to be effective this time around. Notched a common speed figure last time out in a $100,000 Optional Claiming race on May 4th. Improbable to see an improved performance off of that figure.
STRAIGHT WAGERS: |
Put your money on #3 FROMANOTHAMUTHA on the nose if you can get odds of 9/5 or more |

#3 MODERN DAY ROMANCE (ML=6/1)
MODERN DAY ROMANCE - Chavez was aboard this gelding in the last race and was impressed enough to take the equine right back.
Vulnerable Contenders: #6 ONLY GET'N BETTER (ML=7/5), #4 GET OFF MY CLOUD (ML=3/1), #5 ROAD SLEW (ML=9/2),
ONLY GET'N BETTER - Hard to put your money on the win end of any horse that finishes second and third as regularly as this entrant does. GET OFF MY CLOUD - Notched a pedestrian speed figure last out in a $5,000 Claiming race on Feb 15th. Not probable to see an improved performance off of that figure. ROAD SLEW - Didn't do alot last time. Probably won't make a winning move today. When scrutinizing today's class rating, he will have to register a better speed figure than last out to be competitive in this dirt route.
