Free Horse Racing Picks for Gulfstream Park on Thursday, April 9, 2020

Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida has been running thoroughbred racing Thursday through Sunday during its spring meets. This week, they run the last three races of the spring meet on April 9, 10, and 11.

Let’s take a look at three of the richest races this Thursday, April 9, at Gulfstream. You can also find wagering opportunities on all the races at Gulfstream with a visit to one of these recommended horse racing betting sites.

Post time for the first race at Gulfstream on April 9, 2020 is 10:00 AM (EDT), but the races I’ve selected to focus on are some of the later ones.

Here are my Gulfstream Park picks for today.

I’m sticking with the favorite here, Spiritual King, ridden by Edgard J. Zayas. My second choice would be Ratify with Joel Rosario aboard, so you might want to box the pair, not that the odds will make you rich. But it’s not really about the money, is it.

Okay, who am I kidding? It’s always about the money, so if you’re looking for a likely long shot, try two bucks on Chris Landeros aboard Bayou Prospector.

Gran Omero from Venezuela may turn out to be the dark horse in this race, but there are plenty of serious competitors to keep us guessing. Naturally, with practically even money on Moretti, I’d be a fool not to pick Luis Saez’ mount for the win.

Other possibles are Admire (Chris Landeros aboard) and Youngest of Five, ridden by Joel Rosario.

Note that the last four horses listed in this race will race only if there are scratches, and the last two  only if scratches accommodate them AND the race is moved from turf to dirt.

I’m going to go with “everything stays the same” and the first 12 horses on the list are the ones that start. If that happens, I would say this is a toss-up between Mighty Road and Valleta, so flipping a mental coin tells me it’ll be Valletta ridden by Luis Saez.
