Preview for the key racing action across the pond
Gulfstream Park is hosting a 10-race card as itsSpring Meet continues and our trader Johnathan Priddey has the lowdown on whoto look out for.
Leading Jockeys
The Spring Meet top jockey bragging rights willlikely be fought out by Tyler Gaffalione and Luis Saez. As itstands, Gaffalione has a 13-7 lead but there’s plenty of racing still to bedone.
Saez is an accomplished rider stateside and enjoyed274 winners in 2019 and he could top that this year, so far boasting a 20%strike rate with 90 winners from 453 rides. Gaffalione is also impressing thisyear and has recorded more than 1,000 wins since the start of 2016.
Tyler Gaffalione booked rides: Power (18:00), Beasaichi (19:05), Carolyn’s Smile (19:36), Gorgeous In Grey (20:08), Starship Apollo (20:39), Sweet Mia (21:41), Muskoka Storm (22:42)
Luis Saez booked rides: Strong Ending (18:00), Silver Maker (18:34), Donder ‘N’ Blitzen (19:05), Bird Map (19:36), Feature Creature (20:08), Take Charge Dude (20:39), Gioielli (21:10), Four Grands (21:41), Crypto Gold (22:12), Caribbean Gold (22:42)
Leading Trainer
We may still be in the earlystages of the Spring Meet but Saffie Joseph Jr. is the one to watch withfour winners so far. He broke on to the elite scene last year when he landedthe $1m Pennsylvania Derby with Math Wizard.
He has just two runners booked for Friday’s meeting, including multiple Gulfstream Park winner Take Charge Dude in the 20:39.
Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained runners: So Charming (20:08), Take Charge Dude (20:39)
Horse To Watch
Saez will ride Four Grands, wholooks to be the one to beat in a high-quality allowance event at 21:41. Thepair impressed as they won by clear daylight over six furlongs on her debut amonth ago.
Stepping up to a mile will provechallenging but she was unstoppable last time out and certainly has thepedigree to cope, particularly with Saez, who should navigate the perfect trip.
