Race 4
#5 Papa’s
Little Girl
Plus play exacta box w/ #4 Grace’s Drama
#5 Papa’s Little Girl dueled for
the lead fending off several different challengers all through the race, only
to get passed in the stretch by a perfect set-up closer and settle for second
last time in a sprint race. Stick with her now that she stretches out to a
route with Irad Ortiz keeping the mount for the new barn off the claim.
Play in
exacta box with #4 Grace’s Drama, who also goes out for a new trainer today off
the claim last time out and fits well in this spot. She is a 10-time career
winner at Gulfstream and nine-time winner at this distance, including the win
two races ago here at this level. No dice last time against a runaway winner
when third, but can rebound, at last enough to hit the exacta boxes.
Race 6
#1 Get N Tipsy
Lands
squarely in the wheelhouse of trainer Larry Rivelli as a fast sprinter in a
turf sprint without any other speed entered at a surface and distance at
Gulfstream that strongly favors speedy front runners. Rivelli specializes in
short sprints, dirt, turf, or synthetic, and he wins them at a high rate by
sending his runners to the lead and never looking back. Lone speed and the
rail, and Irad Ortiz aboard. Say goodbye.
