Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks
Gulfstream Park - Race #8
Gulfstream Park - Race #10
Gulfstream Park - Race #11
Gulfstream Park - Race #8
| #2 Big Rings | Annihilated rivals in her only start, which came at 6.5 furlongs. She stretches out to two turns, and the daughter of The Big Beast looks likes he should be at solid front-ender going long. |
| #7 Princess Secret | Set the pace and held on for the win going seven furlongs vs. similar; very tough thus far and like others will be challenged to get the two turns. |
| #3 Go Jo Jo Go | Ran on for third going seven furlongs last time and has improved in each of his last four races; ready to try a long distance. |
| Race Summary | Big Rings clearly has immense talent and can get battle from the start of this one; widened in his only start and looks ready for extra distance. |
| #9 Seazan | Was third, beaten 10 lengths in his only stakes try and improved position from ninth to third; can pick up a lot of pieces here and will be around for the finish. |
| #4 Breeze On By | Is a stablemate to the top choice here and is unbeaten in three starts; was an easy winner going seven furlongs and this two-turn event will likely be more of a test. |
| #3 Gatsby | Ran too fast early last time and weakened for fifth; won't have to go has hard early on this time and has a good chance to dig in for a major piece of it. |
| Race Summary | Seazan showed promise when he ran past most of the field last time and will be a serious player going two turns. |
| #3 Can't Buy Love | Gave way from early efforts last time and can be the mix without going as fast this time around; can dig in when challenged here. |
| #4 Marvelous Marlene | Rallied steady and was up in time going this distance on grass last time; capable of another big effort. |
| #8 Con Lima | Moves over to the turf after a second in a minor stakes race at Saratoga; could be very tough in his second for Pletcher. |
| Race Summary | Can't Buy Love fizzled a bit in her first try going long and can be more of a factor this time; probably won't have to go as fast early and can be around for the end. |
