3rd favorite betting interest of Reiable sources (3.30) got an uncontested wire to wire Job and romped by 6. The 3-2 Favorite #8 Might Forttress never threatened. ABOUT.com, BettorsPUB, ESPN and NOLA all had the winner... a bunch of teams believed in the 2nd horse, Engineer (2-1) with pat day up...and were shut out on the double and PIK3's when both he and the FAV ran out. Bettors Pub and NOLA were the only two teams to hit the rather cheap $38.00 double.

And Nola banged the exacta her as well. Bettors Pub was alive to the 1 and 6 (4.90 Bailey up) who made a wide move at the top of stretch....leveled out and backed up to last.

Race 4

#2 Erins Storm (.40) was life and death to win by a half length here. Still only 9 of 18 teams selected this CLEAR favorite on top and 5 teams tossed him OUTRIGHT off thier top two selections.
Despite this heavy FAV,,,,,,,only 6 of 18 teams went alive to the last leg of 3rd PIK3 of the day. A 5-2 and a .40 cent dumped 66% of the contestants. interesting. and despite only three horses being bet in this race...two others at 5-1 and 6-1 , one at 11-1 and all others 20-1 or better......... Only one team...Phoenix sports had the exacta? Three teams got beat by having it backwards.

Only HSH , Hottalkers and about.com and NOLA had the FAV in the top spot here. only one team even used the 13 in any spots and depsite the favorites running 1st and 2nd.....None of 18 teams was anywhere near the excata. and depsite being the favorite....Only 7 of 18 teams even used the 2 in thier top three spots. And depsite a 3-2 and 7-2. 2/3's of the teams were dead going into the last leg of the pik3. 6 of 18 alive heading to the 8th race.

8th race

Florida Derby.

7 contestants selected Empire Maker. and 10 selected Trust n Luck, 1 selected Supah Blitz and 1 selected Midway Cat. Of the 6 that entered alive 4 hit the PIK3 by having Empire Maker on top. The contestants all had this either dead on or backwards as everyone that Liked empire maker......Liked trust-n-luck 2nd or the other way around. 4 of the 6 that came alive hit the $130 PIK 3 with empire Maker either in thier first or 2nd spot.

9th race

Another Heavily bet horse Dance the slew #6 (3-1) 5 teams had this winner.....But what was noticable was that of the 13 teams that did'nt have him. 10 teams did'nt like this 3-1 shot at all and did'nt have him anywhere in thier top four selections. another thing thats starting to become very clear at GulfStream>? No one is hitting excata's at all. 8 Teams went all day without hitting one,,,and 6 teams hit one......and that was the feature race where Empire maker and Trust-n-Luck ran 1-2......and I look at the card.....Through 9 races ..The favorites are running 1-2, 2-1 and no one is catching them.

Race 10.

Last pik3 of the day

Another well bet 2nd Favorite. #4 Christina's Outlaw (3-1) #9 Wild arrow at 32-1 underneath. Barn to wire and Bloodhorse almost POPPED here as they had the 9 on top and coulda been a day changer if he got up. Missed by a big 2 lengths though. The 4 was over looked by most though as only 4 teams had this horse on top. 3 teams used him 2nd so on the final pik3 of the day only 7 of 18 teams went alive in the first leg

9 Wild Arrow 21.80

Race 11

3rd betting favorite. #6 Midas Touch (4.80) J. Bailey up. WHywhyWHy proved he can't go mile and 1/4 and he proved here he needs more ground than 7 furlongs. I'm sure he bounced a little from the FOY.....But looks like he's a Glorified Allowance horse to me who can occassionlly freak and run with big boys at a mile and 1/16th. or an 1/8th on his best... I want him to come up to Saratoga this Summer and run in the Whitney perhaps. Hurrikane at HTR knew what he was doing as he tossed YYY and hit winner and exacta cold here. Only one of the 7 that went alive in leg one........stayed alive to the final pik3. ABOUT.com. Most everyone gave YYY the class edge here and it disapointed them.

Race 12

Of you want to call a 4-1 a LONGSHOT...you got one here. he was the 4th favorite in a 6 horse field that was desimated by scratches. Bailey again on # 6 Woodmon at 4.70. Everyone was dead for pik3's excpet Justin at About.com and he caught it to close out a Nice 6 of 12 (50%) day and the late pik3. Everyone else wqas fighting for the exacta and at the mercy of 6 or 7 weather related scratches......and no one caught.


Observations...........No one outside the 6 post won a race here today. But the 6 won 4 times. the 2 won 3 times. and if you were looking to catch Thorotech here? It was undoable as the TOTAL of 9 PIK3's on this 12 race card was $1385 dollars.
