Mr. Ed’s Gulfstream Picks for Sunday, February 9:
Here are the best of Mr. Ed’s Gulfstream picks for Sunday. First race post time is 12:20 p.m.
Race 1 (12:20 p.m. ET/10:26 p.m. PT — $36K MAIDEN CLAIMING for 4YOs & up going a mile of the turf
Mr. Ed takes a longshot on #6 OSCARWORTHY (12-1 morning line), who cuts back to a mile for trainer Brian Lynch, who retains HOFer Johnny Velasquez in the saddle. If this choice can get up at the wire, he certainly will win an Oscar. Worth a shot.
GULFSTREAM PICK: $10 to Win & Place. ($20)
Race 2 (12:49 p.m ET/9:49 a.m. PT) — $12K MAIDEN CLAIMING for 3YOs going a mile
Mr. Ed likes #8 GAIN (6-5 morning line) for trainer Bobby Dibona, with Tyler Gaffalione returning to ride. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
GULFSTREAM PICK: $10 to Win & Place. ($20)
Race 3 (1:18 p.m. ET/10:18 p.m. PT) — $26K claiming for 4YOKs & Up going 7 furlongs
I like #6 HEY CUE (2-1 mourning line), who gets a major rider upgrade to Tyler Gaffalione for improving trainer Martin Drexler.
GULFSTREAM SELECTION: $10 to Win. ($10)
Race 4 (1:49 p.m./10:49 a.m.) — $96K ALLOWANCE CLAIMING for 3YOs going a mile on the turf
Mr. Ed likes three: #6 ATTACK (9-2 morning line) for Canadian trainer Mark Casse. Works indicate sophomore to ready to graduate. I’ll also use #4 I’M OTTER HERE (6-1) and #8 READY FOR PEACE (7-2).
GULFSTREAM PICK: $5 Exacta Box. ($30)
Race 6 (2:49 p.m. ET/11 p.m. ET) — $94K MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT for fillies and mares going a mile on the turf
I like #3 FAST MARKET (6-1 morning line) for overdue NY trainer John Terranova. Solid Joel Rosario returns to the saddle to avenge a loss in the last race.
GULSTREAM PICK: $10 to Win & Place. ($20)
Races 8-10
