the few things i can say are that they are large fields, and people haven't stopped betting on them.
Fair Grounds open's today as well. their top 3 races are 2 Louisiana bred maiden races and also a state bred nw2 allowance.

Gulfstream is giving the horses a chance,Doesn't matter if they would get "dusted" at another track.I applaud GP for doing this..Lots of horse do like the turf but are never given the chance unless they are high level claimers, allow or stake horses. I think PJ Campos is doing a great job at having this meet going as good as it is .Im also sure there is no other meet in the US with the field sizes that he is getting.He has every condition for the horseman to choose from,A far cry from other years here trying to run on the turf..Purses are good and management has been treating us well..Tampas new book is out with a min of 16k to run on the turf and much smaller purses..JMO
