Tight holiday card at Gulfstream: lots of short sprints, plenty of pace, and a few turf/All-Weather puzzles where trip will matter more than talent. Same rule as always: skip the underlays, hunt the overlays, let everybody else guess.
RACE 1 – Maiden Special Weight – $56,000
5 Furlongs – TURF – Post: 11:15 AM
Likely honest to fast turf sprint pace – outside tactical speed gets a nice look.
- **WIN – (8) Motown Diva – E. J. Zayas (45%)
Quick-footed stalker/pace-presser from the outside. Should sit just off the early burners and get first run in the lane. - **PLACE – (1) City Minute – M. J. Husbands (38%)
Rail-draw speed type; if she breaks clean, she can control things early and be stubborn late. Trip horse. - **SHOW – (7) Contra – J. Ruiz (33%)
More of a mid-pack runner with a decent late kick; projects to pick off tiring rivals in the final furlong. - **JOKER – (6) Di Capri – E. Jaramillo (28%)
Pressing style, fits a pace-tracking trip just outside the main speed. Live bomb for exacta/tri tickets.
