$10k horse racing contest

Tomorrow’s featured horse racing contest is the $10,000 SAT Game – $5K to Winner. Below are some spot plays I like in several of the tournament races. Login to DerbyWars early to qualify for as little as $19. Remember, the top prize is $5k!

GP TURF INVITATIONAL

In the Grade 1 Gulfstream Park Turf Invitational POINT OF ENTRY (9-5) is the second choice on the morning line despite finising second in the Breeders’ Cup Turf when last seen. It’s tough to pick a horse racing contest horse with odds that short, but given the short field you might be wise to take what you can get. Remember, a dollar or two can make the difference between first and fifth.

 GP SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIP

The Grade 3 Gulfstream Park Sprint Championship presents a chance score a price horse. SWAGGER JACK is listed at 10-1 morning line odds and rides a two race win streak into this event. Trainer Martin Wolfson has won a whopping 24% of his races at the meet and is even better with hoses that won their last start. Horses like this one are the bread and butter for horse racing contests players.

 SUWANEE RIVER

ABACO is 8-1 in this race. She provides a good alternative to players looking for a price as she has cleared all of her allowance conditions and enters this race on a winning streak that has reached four races. John Velazquez will ride for Bill Mott.

 DONN HANDICAP

ULTIMATE EAGLE is the speed of the speed on a speed favoring track. He races third off the shelf with a top speed riding jockey in Martin Pedroza and could run the best race of his life. The odds aren’t too bad at 6-1 either.

If you are looking for a longer price, consider playing 10-1 shot POOL PLAY. He clearly has an affinity for the track as proved by a 7-4-0-1 record at Gulfstream and is one of just a few Grade 1 winners in this race.

MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT

GENTLEMAN’S HONOR is 12-1 and showed enough talent in his second race to tell us he can run well. There is plenty of pedigree for this one to like the turf as the dam won over $600k racing on turf. Bill Mott retains the services of jockey John Velazquez for this event which is a plus sign. Look for more sharpness early on with blinkers going on.
