Horse Racing Info. 1/13
At the Gate - Wednesday
By Mike Dempsey
Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert looks as if he has a couple of early contenders for this spring’s Run for the Roses, running one-two in last Saturday’s $100,000 Sham Stakes (G3) at Santa Anita.
Collected got the job done, the colt making a successful transition from turf to dirt to win by 1 ¼ lengths over his stablemate Let’s Meet in Rio, who was facing winners for the frit time.
The future price on Collected dropped to 50-1, just sitting outside of the top 10 in future Derby wagering. Let’s Meet in Rio is sitting at a pricey 100-1.
Collected is by City Zip, who was better sprinting and I am not sure this colt really wants to go 1 ¼ miles on the first Saturday of May. However, some of us said the same thing about California Chrome.
The next Road to the Kentucky Derby points race is coming up this Saturday. The $200,000 Lecomte (G3) at Fair Grounds offers up 10-4-2-1 Derby points to the top four finishers.
I will have selections and analysis for the race in Saturday’s column.
Kentucky Derby Future Wagering:
Mohaymen 6-1
Mor Spirit 8-1
Airoforce 18-1
Swipe 20-1
Greenpointcrusader 25-1
Toews On Ice 25-1
Flexability 30-1
Gift Box 30-1
Drefong 40-1
Conquest Big E 45-1
Sail Ahoy 45-1
Shagaf 45-1
Here is today’s opener from Gulfstream Park to get the day off to a good start:
GP Race 1 Clm $6,250N2L (12:35 ET)
#2 Pampam 6-1
#1 Starship Galaxy 8-1
#7 Samus 7-2
#4 Lying Eyes 4-1
Analysis: Pampam went turf to dirt last out and checked in a decent third going six furlongs. The filly an into repeat winners two and three back on turf in her first two starts against winners. She tends to land for minor shares, 11 in 19 starts with just her maiden win, but she catches a weak group of non-winners of two here and she has run pretty well on dirt.
Starship Galaxy prompted the early pace and weakened to finish sixth last out at this level in her first start off the claim by the Kopaj barn. She comes back here with blinkers added and the rail draw. She broke her maiden going a mile and she ran well in a runner up finish at this distance in her first start against winners. Worth tossing in the mix if she goes off near her 8-1 morning line.
Wagering
WIN: #2 to win at 4-1 or better.
EX: 1,2 / 1,2,4,7
TRI: 1,2 / 1,2,4,7 / 1,2,3,4,7
Today’s Featured Race of the Day from Gulfstream Park:
GP Race 8 Alw $44,000N1X (4:05 ET)
#1 Boreggiatore 6-1
#8 Ami's Flatter 4-1
#2 Muntij 6-1
#9 No More Magic 8-1
Analysis: Boreggiatore exits a $50,000 starter allowance where it looks as if he may have bounced off back to back neck wins two and three back. The Sharp barn claimed this guy for $35,000 and he was a game winner in his first two starts for the barn. He has been freshened and has a win over the main track here breaking his maiden for a $25,000 tag last February at a mile. He fits if he runs back to his efforts two and three back and Sharp is having a solid meeting here, hitting at a 24% clip.
Ami's Flatter makes his first start since last July where he faded to finish eighth in the Queen's Plate. He mixed it up in Derby preps last year, running second in the Tampa Bay Derby (G2) and third in the Florida Derby (G1). The barn is showing a 4 for 14 mark (with a +ROI) with runners coming back off a +180 day layoff. The colt sports a couple of bullet works over at Payson for his return.
Wagering
WIN: #1 to win at 4-1 or better.
EX: 1,8 / 1,2,8,9
TRI: 1,8 / 1,2,8,9 / 1,2,5,8,9
Live Longshots:
These are price plays for exotic players looking to find a couple of extra contenders to use in their trifecta and superfecta wagers. Or for those with smaller bankrolls, you might want to get in a small win-place wager.
Gulfstream Park
R1: #1 Starship Galaxy 8-1
R2: #8 Onlytheshadowknows 8-1
R5: #4 Playa Zaragoza 15-1
R6: #8 I’m Steppin’ It Up 8-1
R7: #3 Big Yum 10-1
R7: #4 Inspire 10-1
R8: #9 No More Magic 8-1
Good luck today!
