Gulfstream (8)

[toetoe]

Princess Haya, a nice, nice closer at 12/, is the play ... UNLESS you insist on a speedball in a sorta paceless cast, in which case I give you Bahia Girl at 8/1. Belle Allure and Vancy Pants rate shots, but at 6/1 (and sure to be pounded) and 5/1, fugeddaboudem. .
Camara Oculta will have to drift far above 8/1 to warrant a bet.

SO glad I didn't get up early to bet. Rained off the turf. (:Phewing.)

toetoe, I had handicapped this race too. I had not paid any attention to the weather (my mistake) and assumed it was run on the grass. Boy was I surprised. All but three horses scratched and the 6 opens at 1-to-9.

I decided to pass the race but then saw something that may me change my mind. And I'm glad I did change my mind b/c the winner was too easy given there was only 3 runners in the race.

Three races had nine scratches apiece. .

Ya, and I noticed not too many fans in the stands either.
