Rating:

#1 OJITOS (ML=7/2)
#5 AFRICAN WARRIOR (ML=3/1)


OJITOS - I like to play horses that faced open company in their last race and drop into state bred races. This gelding fits the bill. This horse likes to win on different ovals. The switch in venue today may be a wake up call. You have to really like that recent race figure, 75, which is the best last race speed figure of this bunch. This equine collects a lot of cash per race around the track. Utmost in this event. AFRICAN WARRIOR - State bred races are generally easier than 'open' company, and this gelding's move into the 'state bred' class today should make him tough in here. Taking this jockey/conditioner combination is a good decision.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 ROCK CITY ROCKET (ML=2/1), #8 ORBITAL STARR (ML=5/1), #2 OBVIOUSLY TOO (ML=8/1),

ROCK CITY ROCKET - Generally I need a sprinter to have some recent success in short distance affairs in order to support him. ORBITAL STARR - Difficult to bet on any entrant in a short distance event if he hasn't finished in the money in a sprint in the last 60 days. OBVIOUSLY TOO - Doubtful for this entrant to do much running with no recent good showings in a sprint contest. Hasn't been close to winning at all recently.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Putting our cash on #1 OJITOS to win. Have to have odds of at least 7/5 or better though
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [1,5]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	Skip
SUPERFECTA WAGERS:	None

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 10 ARI OAKLEY 2/1
# 5 OUTSIDE THE LAW 4/1
# 9 FLYIN FALYNN 9/2

ARI OAKLEY looks to be a competitive contender. Looks formidable against this group and will most likely be one of the front-runners. Could beat this group given the 91 speed rating earned in her last outing. Has to be given consideration against this group of horses in this race displaying very good numbers recently and an average speed figure of 83 under similar conditions. OUTSIDE THE LAW - Shows signs of the look of a money-making play, averaging a solid 89 speed figure which is one of the best in this group. This racer enters today's outing now going off Lasix. FLYIN FALYNN - Posted a sound speed figure in the latest race. Can run another good one in this race. This one has been constatntly racing well recently.

Gulfstream Park - Race #8 - Post: 3:40pm - Maiden Special - 7.5 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $84,000 Class Rating: 84

Rating:

#11 MORAL TURPITUDE (ML=8/1)
#7 BO DEREK (ML=5/1)
#8 MYSTIC SUNRISE (ML=20/1)


MORAL TURPITUDE - This filly is in fine form, having run a strong race on December 11th, finishing fifth. After the race aboard this animal on December 11th, the jock is going to be in tune with the filly much better. Generally speaking, horses on Lasix for the 1st time should be considered. That's what we have here. This filly's last fig earned on December 11th is at the top in last race speed figures. BO DEREK - Last time out, finished fourth on a sloppy track at Churchill Downs. Have to do better right here. Horse got beaten up in her only race. With a clean trip, I look for this one in the winner's circle photo. Generally speaking, horses on Lasix for the first time should be considered. That's what we have here. MYSTIC SUNRISE - Jockey jumped on this filly's back for the 1st time on December 18th. Should be in tune with the equine even better today. The addition of Lasix might make this horse run well in this field.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 LAURANA (ML=7/2), #6 BE MY SUNSHINE (ML=4/1), #4 MO TOWN MADISON (ML=6/1),

LAURANA - This horse will most likely be way back as this group crosses the finish. BE MY SUNSHINE - Not the best 'spot' in this race. MO TOWN MADISON - The lack of early speed in the last one, a route clash, is a bit troublesome. This steed hasn't been near the victor at the finish line recently.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Putting our cash on #11 MORAL TURPITUDE to win. Have to have odds of at least 5/2 or better though
EXACTA WAGERS:	11 with [7,8]

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 7 BLAME THE BOURBON 5/2
# 4 DART 3/1
# 3 HOPE HE'S FAST 6/1

I've got to go with BLAME THE BOURBON. Overall the Speed Figures of this horse look decent in this outing. Going in a dirt sprint race gives this gelding a solid shot. Will almost certainly come out strong - I have liked the way this gelding has moved sharply to the front end recently. DART - Wagerers should probably note that this pony runs on Lasix today. Have to wager on this money-making jock and trainer duo. HOPE HE'S FAST - Looks formidable for the conditions of this affair today, showing solid numbers in dirt sprint races lately. Players ought to take a good look at this one as this gelding has one of the best win percentages at this distance in this group.

NFL | Patriots vs Bills

Play on: Bills -7 -105 at BetVegas

Jack's Free Pick Sunday: Buffalo Bills -7
The Buffalo Bills have owned the New England Patriots. They have won the last three meetings by 12, 30 and 14 points and outgained the Patriots by 140, 177 and 113 yards in those three meetings, respectively. They would love nothing more than to knock the Patriots out of the playoffs with a win on Sunday, and I think it's going to come in blowout fashion.
The Bills still have a lot to play for even if the Chiefs win on Saturday to clinch the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye. They still want to get the No. 2 seed so they don't have to travel to Cincinnati, and per the NFL the AFC Championship Game would be played on a neutral if the Bills and Chiefs meet and both teams win in Week 18.
The Bills basically get a bye this week after playing less than a quarter of football against the Bengals on Monday Night Football. They will be fresh, while the Patriots have played three consecutive games that came down to the final play against the Raiders, Bengals and Dolphins. It's fair to question how much the Patriots have left in the tank, and they are going to need a lot to go right here to even be competitive.
It's going to be an emotional, rowdy atmosphere in Buffalo Sunday with fans showing their support for Damar Hamlin. It sounds like he is progressing well as of this writing, which will take some of the burden off these players and let them play a little more freely. I would be surprised if the Bills haven't dedicated the rest of their season to Hamlin.
The Patriots have been pitiful on offense. They have been held to fewer than 300 yards in seven of their last 10 games overall, and 318 and 328 yards in two other instances. I don't see how they can make enough plays on offense to be competitive in this game. They'll be up against a Buffalo defense that ranks 2nd in scoring at 17.5 points per game, 5th in total defense at 317.7 yards per game and 8th at 5.1 yards per play.
Buffalo ranks 4th in scoring offense at 28.0 points per game, 2nd in total offense at 402.3 yards per game and 3rd at 6.2 yards per play. New England ranks 26th in total offense at 312.9 yards per game. The only three defenses they reached 300 yards against in their last 10 games were the Cardinals (328 yards), Raiders (318 yards) and Vikings (409 yards), which are three of the worst defenses in the NFL.
Buffalo is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 home games after scoring 25 points or more in two consecutive games coming in. It is winning by 17.0 points per game in this spot. This one has blowout written all over it. Bet the Bills Sunday.

Dave's Sunday Free Play:
1* on Cincinnati Bengals -7
The Key: The Cincinnati Bengals still have a chance to improve their seeding Sunday. And it has been announced that the AFC Championship Game will be played on a neutral if the Bengals win in Week 18 and then play either the Bills or Chiefs. There's plenty incentive for them here. There isn't much incentive for the Ravens, who can't win the AFC North and who will either be the 5th or 6th seed in the AFC. They could be down to 3rd-string QB Anthony Brown this week as Lamar Jackson is out, and backup Tyler Huntley has a wrist injury. Don't be surprised to see the Ravens pack it in and play backups in this game to try and get healthy for next week. The Bengals will be fresh as they only played 10 minutes against the Bills on Monday and get to stay at home with no travel involved. The Bengals are 20-3 ATS in their last 23 games overall. Take Cincinnati.
