Re-analysis of a tough race…


I make it habit to 'understand' results.–as quickly as possible. Elusive Harmony won the first race at Gulfstream, today, virtually wire-to-wire; defeating  class drop mover Aunt Anna.  I was alive with three doubles including an obvious mover.

Several of the other six had interesting goings-on–especially One Proud Gal.  Premier jockey JC Caraballo was named to ride.  The horse was dropping to a new lower level and upon closer examination Gal qualified two races back as a 'monster mover.' 

This wasn't the textbook move, because the horse wasn't positioned up close at the first two calls. But she ran close to a super fast pace.  JC up, showed the trainer believed Gal could compete. And, her odds were 10-1. It was enough for me to treat her as a single. Win, Place, Show and a multiple exacta box with another move horse. Ran first and second.The results? See the chart.
