Frank Carulli's Daily Picks
Gulfstream Park - Race #1
Gulfstream Park - Race #2
Gulfstream Park - Race #5
Gulfstream Park - Race #1
| #4 PASS FAILED (9-2) | Second to front-end repeater when last seen four months ago, changes riders again. |
| #1 AMERICAN POPSTAR (2-1) | Lost several lengths on first turn at Saratoga, takes magnified class drop. |
| #8 LILY’S BACK (6-1) | Ran third against boys two back, battling between rivals until late stretch. |
| Race Summary | PASS FAILED has been away for four months, perhaps working on her slow-starting habit. She ran second behind wire-to-wire repeater Bonita Diamond at 5F and faced five runners-up with an average 61 Beyer in her last three starts, two as the favorite. She gets the nod for a win and place bet in a weak field. |
| #9 TULLY ROAD (6-1) | Exits fast and productive turf sprint, gets weight break, good value play. |
| #6 EZ AZUL (12-1) | Debuts for Orseno, who is 13/2-3-3 at Gulfstream this month, many at double-digit odds. |
| #3 BRING BAIL MONEY (6-1) | Took money, set pace in crowded MSW sprint at this distance. |
| Race Summary | TULLY ROAD chased the 3-to-5, multiple stakes-placed winner to mid-stretch before fading in a 5F turf sprint against the boys. She finished a neck behind a next-out maiden $40,000 winner. Bet to win and place in her second start with blinkers and first try on the synthetic track. Also play a 3-6-9 exacta box. |
| #1 SERGEANT SINATRA (15-1) | Winless in 12 tries at this level, but could end the slump with a better start. |
| #4 PANCHO SLIPS AWAY(7-2) | Pennsylvania invader has good first gear, shortens up, runs for cheapest tag. |
| #5 G SPEEDY (9-2) | Late burst came up short against rival who often holds clear stretch leads. |
| Race Summary | SERGEANT SINATRA worked fast for his return but got away slowly again and never threatened. He is 0-12 at the $8,000/nw2 level, but he rallied for minor awards in three consecutive sprints on the synthetic track in the Spring with an average 60 Beyer that would make him a contender in here. Bet to win and place and play 1-4 and 1-5 exactas. |
