Late Pick 5 Sequence
Race selections provided are in the mindset of playing the Pick 5 sequence as a whole; runners are placed in the order of most likely winner, in my humble opinion. To be more judicious with our bankroll in 2026, I will be taking a more targeted approach in Pick 5 selections and include some win bets and doubles when the opportunities arise.
Race 8 SELECTIONS: 1 – 6 – 8
# 1 Mr. Miracle will make his second career start for strong connections and is well-bred. # 6 Easterly will also make his second start for a strong trainer jockey combination. This son of Uncle Mo ran evenly paced in his first attempt but showed his aptitude for the distance. #8 Chess Match is a first-time starter trained by Todd Pletcher; he like our other selections is well bred on the Sire and Dam side.
Race 9 SELECTIONS: 4 – 2 – 6
#4 Carentan likes to press the pace and has the ability to finish well at this level; trainer Carlos David’s barn is doing very well at the meet. #2 Inchon will need to return to form but will be making his first start for new trainer Mark Casse; jockey Tyler Gaffalione picks up the mount. #6 American Speed moves to his new trainer after being claimed by the trainer himself, Mr. Sam Wilensky, latest workout was impressive.
Race 10 SELECTIONS: 7 – 1
#7 Moon Spun will be going for her fourth consecutive victory and should be the over whelming favorite. We wont play against him but there is a lot of speed signed on in this race and we will look for #1 Flamingo Way to use his effective sprint closing speed to pick up the pieces late.
Race 11 SELECTIONS: 3
#3 Fast Town will be our single in the sequence. as the other potential competition scratched from the race this morning.
Race 12 SELECTIONS: 7 – 4 – 8
#7 Slippers returns to the surface that she broke her maiden two races back on; her last attempt was in a stake race and was moved off the turf due to the weather. #4 Meilani will make her first start at Gulfstream Park for trainer Kevin Attard, she is a hard trying filly that is coming off a 3 months rest. #8 Viva Vienne attempted the turf for the first time last time out and just missed by a narrow margin after a slow start.
