Grass Picks for Grass ONLY
A little different today as I have done basically the Full Card at Gulfstream. Some races I normally would not post or select because of heavy favorites (rc8) or because they are only 2 Star races and I didn’t have a strong enough opinion (rc6 & 11). But since all eyes are on GP today, I wanted everyone to have a chance with the rolling PK3’s, the PK5 and late PK4.
GULFSTREAM race 3 ~ (4 star)
#3 SKY CAPTAIN – 2nd off layoff, stretches out
#5 EL DURO – the one to catch
#2 CERRO – 2nd time on dirt, lost to a good one
#1 TAKEN BY THE STORM – don’t like only 2 works for return
