Normally I don't blog on Sundays, for I'm either in a tournament or playing for my own account. However, I spotted an interesting price play at Gulfstream Park today in the 1st race. It's a maiden claiming ($12,500) going 51/2 furlongs. The price play is ...
#5 Wildcat Sierra ML 12/1
She lost her debut as a 2YO at Calder in a maiden claimer of $32,000. Ships over today as a 3YO, drops in class and shortens the distance. I would have preferred 2 loses as a 2YO then ship/drop today, but I will risk it if the tote holds up, the value has to be greater than 12/1.
I looked at her first effort and she raced forwardly and then evened out. The winner, California Quick just took off at the halfway point, and crushed the field. I have a feeling Nunez galloped Wildcat Sierra home after the winner took off. Also, California Quick won recently at the $10,000 claimer level with a Beyer of 60.
Her workouts have been decent, with a nice pattern to them, Arias takes the blinkers off this time. He also has a decent record with maiden claimers and second time starters. Not a lock for sure, but an excellent value play if the odds go her way.
Good luck!!
