Here’s the Raymond Track Report game plan for Gulfstream Park – Friday, Sept 5, 2025 using the Double Dutch (ONE horse per race, Win & Place).
Race 1 – Claiming (1m70y, Tapeta) • 12:50 PM
DD Single: (2) Dream Scheme – 8/1
Live price with a 46% jock clip on this circuit. Perfect DD start: you’re paid if she runs 1st or 2nd, and the price is right.
Exotics: Exacta 2/6, 6/4, 4/3 box • Tri 2/6/4, 3/6/4 box
Race 2 – Mdn Clm (1m, Turf) • 1:20 PM
DD Single: (3) Little Torch – 20/1
Yeah, spicy. But the model likes the setup and rider stats. Small stake DD—huge upside if she hits the frame.
Exotics: Exacta 3/1, 1/14, 14/15 box • Tri 3/1/14, 15/1/14 box
Race 3 – Mdn Clm (6f, Dirt) • 1:50 PM
DD Single: (3) Swift Candy – 4/1
Honest price; better chance than ML implies vs. the heavy chalk inside.
Exotics: Exacta 3/5, 5/1, 1/2 box • Tri 3/5/1, 2/5/1 box
Race 4 – Claiming (5½f, Dirt) • 2:20 PM
DD Single: (1) Want All the Smoke – 8/1
Inside speed with a high-win jock—fits the profile.
Exotics: Exacta 1/6, 6/8, 8/5 box • Tri 1/6/8, 5/6/8 box
Race 5 – Claiming (5f, Tapeta) • 2:50 PM
DD Single: (7) Minxy – 15/1
Tape this one to the monitor: chaotic Tapeta sprint + live longshot jock = DD value shot.
Exotics: Exacta 7/4, 4/8, 8/3 box • Tri 7/4/8, 3/4/8 box
Race 6 – Claiming (1 1/16m, Turf) • 3:20 PM
DD Single: (3) Show Off – 2/1
Form+figs say he’s the one. Chalk you can lean on to reload after the bombs.
Exotics: Exacta 3/7, 7/5, 5/4 box • Tri 3/7/5, 4/7/5 box
Race 7 – Claiming (1m70y, Tapeta) • 3:50 PM
DD Single: (4) R Awesome Sauce – 20/1
This is the kind of number that pays the day. DD keeps you safe if he lands second; upside is real if the fave underperforms.
Exotics: Exacta 4/7, 7/3, 3/8 box • Tri 4/7/3, 8/7/3 box
Race 8 – Claiming (7f, Dirt) • 4:20 PM
DD Single: (2) Etendre – 8/5
Reliable class/pace edge. Yes, chalk—but the pool shape looks right.
Exotics: Exacta 2/4, 4/6, 6/5 box • Tri 2/4/6, 5/4/6 box
Race 9 – Claiming (1m, Turf) • 4:50 PM
DD Single: (7) Gulfstream Mary D – 5/2
Consistent late kick + rider fits the course. Solid closer to the card.
Exotics: Exacta 7/4, 4/5, 5/3 box • Tri 7/4/5, 3/4/5 box
Betting Notes (fast & blunt)
- DD = Win & Place on the single listed per race. Don’t overcomplicate it.
- Card anchors (higher confidence): R6 Show Off, R8 Etendre, R9 Gulfstream Mary D.
- Value grenades: R2 Little Torch (20/1), R5 Minxy (15/1), R7 R Awesome Sauce (20/1) — keep DD stakes modest but don’t skip; these are how you outrun the takeout.
- If you’re boxing exotics, keep unit sizes smaller than your DD base—DD is the engine, exotics are the turbo.
