Gulfstream Park • Race 7 • 3:10 p.m. ET [PPs] There are two in this field that come in having won their only try on dirt at 7 furlongs. That would be 2 Dr Post and 6 Hammer Lane. Dr Post is coming in off a lengthy layoff, having been last seen in the Clark thirteen months ago. I’m much more interested in Hammer Lane, who has a nice post position and predicts to be on the lead. I don’t really see anyone challenging him either. This could be a gate-to-wire race and score at a BIG price.
Picks: 6-1-7-2
A DIFFERENT OPINION Yesterday’s second opinion was mush, as the horse Cole tossed ended up winning the race. Here’s his brother Carter’s take on today’s feature.
1 Endorsed is my pick here. I think he’ll be more forwardly placed than Dr Post and has late speed that’s only just a notch below. As for Dr Post, I’m thinking he will get up for show money. I do not like Hammer Lane and think he will fade down the stretch. Perhaps hold on for fourth. Not a whole lot separates Endorsed and 9 Secret Alliance in my opinion. I’d have those two in the exacta, Dr Post third, and 8 Shivaree along with Hammer Lane in fourth.
Best of luck!
