Get ready for another thrilling day of horse racing at Gulfstream Park on Thursday, December 14th, 2023. Based on the detailed insights from the Raymond Track Report by ATS STATS, here are my top picks for the races, featuring favorites, underdogs, and value plays, along with a suggested exacta play of the day.
Favorite of the Day: Race 1 – Bolkin (2)
In the first race, my favorite pick is Bolkin (2) with jockey E J Zayas. With morning line odds of 5-1 and a 36% win rate, Bolkin stands out in this Maiden Claiming race over 5 1/2 furlongs on the all-weather track. This horse shows great promise and could be a strong contender for the win.
Underdog of the Day: Race 3 – India Pilaga (2)
In Race 3, the underdog I’m watching is India Pilaga (2), ridden by J Rivera. Despite the long odds of 12-1, this horse could surprise us in this 6 1/2 furlongs dirt race. With a 25% place rate, India Pilaga might just have what it takes to outrun the odds.
Value Play of the Day: Race 2 – Thelastbulletsmine (7)
For a value play, look no further than Thelastbulletsmine (7) in Race 2, with jockey P Lopez. At 6-1 odds in a Starter Optional Claiming race over 1 1/16 miles on turf, this horse has the potential to deliver significant value, backed by a solid 37% place rate.
Exacta Play of the Day: Race 5
The best exacta play for the day comes in Race 5, a Maiden Optional Claiming race over 1 mile on the turf. I recommend boxing Burnaway (5) and Street Charity (7), both having strong win percentages of 42% and 41%, respectively. This combination could yield a profitable outcome in what promises to be an exciting race.
Remember, while these picks are based on statistical analysis and horse racing expertise, the outcome of horse races can be unpredictable. Best of luck to all the bettors and horses at Gulfstream Park!
