GP and SA today....
Gulfstream Park
Race 7 - Alsaleet @ 5/1*
Race 9 - (longshot dutch) Union Place @ 12/1, Lord Juban @ 8/1
side note on gulfstream 9; love Orchard Park, but can't back him at that price when he is in post 12 (outside posts have been ugly on the turf this meet - as post 11,12 have only produced 8% winners). If anyone can do it, it's Bailey....but prefer to take a stab here.
Santa Anita
Race 4 - (dutch) All Grace @ 5/1, Dellavalade @ 9/2
Race 5 - (dutch) Color Me Matt C @ 8/1, Holly Prince @ 7/2
note on SA 4; Hate wagering on a first-time-starter in a wide open event (i.e. All Grace).....but connections are hot, the progeny is right, and Solis knows how to rate a firster, almost better than anyone - and he's not exactly facing a bunch of head knockers here. Dellavalade ran 4-wide last time, while ED lost his whip. Still missed by less than a length for the win, and right behind Fiddlin Devon and Aphobic Lady who appear here. Expect big improvement.
