Gulfstream Park Selections for December 24, 2021 – Horse Racing Picks

Gulfstream Park Selections for December 24, 2021 – Horse Racing Picks

Everyone is on a break Christmas Eve, with the NBA, NHL, college football and basketball all off for the day. There was supposed to be the Hawaii Bowl between the Memphis Tigers and Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, but that was cancelled as a result of too many Covid positive tests for the hosts.

Industry Leading 9% Cashback!

That’s tough for Memphis, but how can we feel bad for a team that is stuck in Hawaii with no game to play? I’m sure they are having a good time regardless of no game. I’m sure they will make out just fine in Hawaii. That leaves horse racing the only game in town.

Sound familiar? During the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, there was only horse racing for wagering in North America. If you look elsewhere, Europe will have other sports this time, but if you want to stay close to home, horse racing is going to be your only bet.

Tampa Bay Downs and Gulfstream Park, both in Florida, are the only tracks offered at BetOnline on Christmas Eve. Gulfstream Park has seven races with $406,000 in prize money available on the card. Head below for our free Gulfstream Park picks on December 24, 2021.

Post Time: 12:00 p.m. EST
Distance:6 Furlongs
Purse:$23,000

The first event at Gulfstream Park is a $23,000 event covering 6 furlongs. Magic Pro and Beastfromtheeast have to be viewed as top contenders at this level.

Magic Pro is making his debut on Friday afternoon. He has promising connections and should have a big chance right out of the gate as a rookie.

Magic Pro was purchased at auction for $10,000 in June. The gelding has been picking it up in workouts. He was most recently timed at 47.71 seconds in an impressive workout on December 18.

Beastfromtheeast is a six-time loser through his career. He has finished 2nd, 5th, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 2nd in six attempts.

Beastfromtheeast came on in his last attempt to place 2nd behind Cashier Check by 7 lengths in a big field. While Beastfromtheeast didn’t get the win, he would have beat this field in the same form.

His workouts have been going well, too. Beastfromtheeast was clocked in 47.55 seconds at 4 furlongs on November 24. He looks like the winner if he’s interested.

(10) Pretty Rachel
+300 (3/1)

Post Time: 3:28 p.m. EST
Distance: 7 Furlongs
Purse:$21,000

Race 8 is a $21,000 event covering 7 furlongs on the dirt. Look at the inside and outside for your shortlist.

Pretty Rachel and Bimini should have a chance at the top prize. Pretty Rachel is 7 for 18 in her career, and most recently ended a six-race winning streak.

She was on fire from May 20 to October 21. In her last win, Pretty Rachel beat Smooth as Glass by 8 lengths for $19,000 on October 21.

Pretty Rachel’s team got too confident and entered her in the $80,000 Claiming Crown Glass Slipper Starter Stakes on December 4. That didn’t go well. Pretty Rachel finished 8th for last.

Bimini is 8 for 28 and finished 1st, 4th, 6th, 5th in her last four attempts. The mare beat Let’s Be Honest by a half-length for a $51,000 purse on July 16.

That was an impressive attempt but has struggled up in class since then. In her last attempt, the mare finished 5th in a $46,000 assignment at a mile.

Down in class and distance on Friday, expect Bimini to give this race a solid go.

Race 9
(1) Churchtown

(2) C My Meister

+800 (8/1)
(5) Just Call Ray

(6) Lament
+450 (9/2)
(7) Hey Porter
+600 (6/1)
(8) Just So Ya Know
+2000 (20/1)

Post Time: 3:28 p.m. EST
Distance:1 Mile 70 Yards
Purse:$61,000

Race 9 covers a mile and 70 yards on the all-weather track. This assignment should be a winnable race for C My Meister and Churchtown.

C My Meister is a one-time winner on July 18. He’s finished 4th, 3rd, 1st, 3rd, 3rd, 4th in his career. In his victory, C My Meister defeated Harry’s Onthebeach by 2 ½ lengths for a $70,000 purse.

That was a good attempt from C My Meister to get into the winner’s circle but hasn’t been back to the winner’s circle in three races since then.

He’s been stakes racing and hasn’t gotten back. In his last outing, he finished 4th in the $75,000 Pulpit Stakes. Down to $61,000, C My Meister should go well in this spot.

Churchtown is 1st, 4th in two outings, winning as a rookie on October 30 at Woodbine. He beat Citrus Boy by 4 ½ lengths in a $126,800 event.

That was impressive and sent Churchtown to a graded race on November 28. Churchtown finished 4th in the $150,000 Grey Stakes (Gr. 3). Expect better from him on these terms.
The Bet
(1) CHURCHTOWN
+250

Tampa Bay Downs Selections for December 24, 2021 – Horse Racing Picks

The two most notable race tracks in Florida are operating on Friday afternoon. That’s all you’re going to find in the US, at least at the main racebooks online for Christmas Eve. It’s the only action in North America.

Industry Leading 9% Cashback!

If you just want something to play and are new to horse racing because there isn’t anything else going on, then just have fun with it. Don’t go too crazy and bust your bankroll on something you’re not exactly interested in.

The stakes racing will pick up the day after Christmas on Sunday. Santa Anita Park has the biggest piece of the stakes events. There are three $300,000 graded races at Santa Anita on Sunday afternoon.

If you’re interested in more horse racing picks on Christmas Eve, check out the Gulfstream Park page. Tampa Bay Downs has nine events worth $180,500 on Friday afternoon. Head below for free Tampa Bay Downs picks on December 24, 2021.

Post Time: 1:12 p.m. EST
Distance:6 Furlongs
Purse:$31,500

Race 3 is a 6-furlong event covering 6 furlongs on the dirt. This looks like a good race between Royal Engagement and Plantinum Gem.

Both runners should enjoy a top chance at getting a win. Royal Engagement is 1st, 3rd, 2nd, 9th, 9th in five attempts.

She opened her career with a win by a head for a $30,000 purse on July 13. She hasn’t been able to get back, but has been looking solid enough in tough races.

Royal Engagement has been stakes racing since then, including a graded race in the $400,000 Natalma Stakes (Gr. 1) on September 19.

Platinum Gem has finished 3rd, 1st in two races, with a winning run after debuting in 3rd on October 7. She showed 3rd for $38,000 and then came back to win on December 4 in her debut at Tampa Bay Downs.

Platinum Gem beat Summer of Mischief by 5 ¼ lengths for a $31,500 purse. That was impressive and puts him in great territory to repeat on Christmas Eve.

(5) Amani’s Image
+160 (8/5)
(6) Roma Mona
+1500 (15/1)
(7) Standup Comedienne
+400 (4/1)

Post Time: 2:43 p.m. EST
Distance: 7 Furlongs
Purse:$31,500

Race 6 is a 7-furlong event covering 7 furlongs on the dirt. Give Amani’s Image and Illogical Love a big look in this one.

Illogical Love is the only horse in this field to likely bother Amani’s Image in the stretch. She made her debut on November 20 and it went well enough.

Illogical Love showed 3rd for a $38,000 purse in decent form. After that solid attempt, Illogical Love is moving down in class to $31,500.

That sounds nice, but Amani’s Image should be too tough to beat. Amani’s Image is winless in three races, though continues to show improvement.

He’s finished 6th, 4th, 2nd in three starts against tougher foes than he’ll see in this one. Amani’s Image has raced twice at Saratoga and then a race at Gulfstream Park.

In his most recent attempt, he placed 2nd behind Mi Negrita by 3 ½ lengths for $60,000. On a transfer to Tampa Bay Downs, expect Amani’s Image to like this track versus this talent.

Expect him to be tough to beat under these conditions at Tampa Bay Downs.

Race 3 - Maiden Claiming - 5.0f on the Dirt. Purse: $23000 Class Rating: 69

FOR MAIDENS, FILLIES AND MARES THREE YEARS OLD AND UPWARD. THREE YEAR OLDS, 121 LBS.; OLDER, 124 LBS. CLAIMING PRICE $16,000.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 5 SENORITA SALSA 7/2
# 1 MAMA LONGLEGS 3/1
# 7 BONNIE'S THE BEST 2/1

My choice in this event is SENORITA SALSA. The speed rating of 62 from her last race looks very strong in here. MAMA LONGLEGS - Is tough not to consider based on speed figures which have been competitive - 63 avg - of late. Looks strong against this group and should be one of the leaders. BONNIE'S THE BEST - Has been running in the most competitive company of the group of animals lately.
