Gulfstream Park Saturday, May 10th | Post Time: 3:30 EST | All times Eastern
This Late Pick 5 sequence at Gulfstream Park is the kind of card bettors dream about — tricky, full of upside, and loaded with stakes-quality juveniles and under-the-radar form reversals. With two stakes races to bookend the sequence, and a mix of turf, dirt, and synthetic to navigate, this is a golden opportunity to separate from the chalk players.
Expect chaos early with first-time starters in both the opener and closer. But if you can survive the scramble, there’s a real shot to cash something juicy. Let’s dig in.
Gulfstream Race 6 – 3:30 EST | 5 Furlongs (Turf) | The Royal Palm Juvenile Fillies Stakes | $100K
Intriguing start to a very perplexing, but potentially profitable P5
➡️ Eight 1st-time starters in this Stakes race
- #11 Kitty Cleo (IRE) – 6-1
Todd Pletcher steals Edgar Zayas for this one, so Saffie Joseph Jr. turns to Francisco Arrieta — not a bad switch, considering they’re clicking at 56% together. A strong Tomlinson Turf rating of 419 sweetens the play. - #2 Bibi Dahl – 9-2
This $1.385M filly is bred to be special. Workouts have been sharp, and Jose Morelos gets the call. - #6 Lennilu – 6-1
One of just three rides today for Luis Saez, and he sticks aboard after this filly won first out in the slop. Turf drill on 4/18 pops.
Race 7 – 4:05 EST | 7 Furlongs (Dirt) | Maiden Special Weight $56K
- #6 Humor Me Brother – 9-5
Professional effort last out in a key race; now stretches out a bit more with Emisael Jaramillo taking over. Prime Power and 76 Beyer make him the one to beat. - #4 LauLauga – 5-2
Stumbled out of the gate last time but showed real promise. Gustavo Delgado (38% at Gulfstream) and Edwin Gonzalez look for a rebound. - #7 Bon Vivant – 9-2
Another Saffie Joseph/Arrieta runner — could be sitting on a monster second effort based on strong works.
Race 8 – 4:37 EST | 1 Mile 70 Yards (Synthetic) | Claiming $10K
- #7 Light Fury – 7-2
Second time with Carlos David, who wins at a 30% clip. Form has been spotty, but if synthetic is playing to speed, watch out. - #11 Mobou – 10-1
A total toss last time, but back form fits. If he bounces back, he’ll be in the mix at a price. - #8 Lord of War – 15-1
Edgar Zayas takes the mount for the first time — big “if” here, but worth using in deeper tickets.
Race 9 – 5:09 EST | 1 Mile (Turf) | Optional Claiming $62K
- #3 Do Gooder – 5-2
Likely single in all horizontal bets. Since switching to turf, this filly’s been a new animal. Jose Morelos stays aboard, and trainer Jena Antonucci is catching fire. - #8 Fantasy Performer – 15-1
Longshot appeal. Leonel Reyes rode this one well last out on dirt; if she handles the grass, she could shock.
Race 10 – 5:39 EST | 5 Furlongs (Turf) | The Royal Palm Juvenile Stakes | $100K
➡️ Another wild stakes race with nine first-time starters
➡️ Our friends are all over #2 “Beers on Me” — you’ll hear that name Saturday
- #6 Fuzzy Stare – 5-2
Wesley Ward ships in and hits at 41% with 2-year-olds, 31% with debut runners. Add Emisael Jaramillo to the mix and you’ve got a live one. - #4 Squire – 6-1
The only runner with a win already. Patrick Biancone + Luis Saez is a reliable combo. Strong final turf work. - #12 Ciborio – 12-1
Tough outside post but blazing 4/11 workout and Francisco Arrieta give this one a shot if he breaks sharp. Keep an eye on scratches that may help his trip.
