Gulfstream Park Picks – Wednesday, January 6, 2021

Gulfstream Park continues the racing week on Wednesday with ten mostly claiming races that also includes a couple of maiden and allowance matches for flavor.

While I review Gulfstream‘s richest races here, remember that you can find their full ten-race card — including horses, jockeys, morning line odds, and wagering options — at one of our best horse racing betting sites.

Read on for my Gulfstream Park picks and betting tips for Wednesday, January 6, 2021.

This is a maiden special weight race for three-year-old Florida-bred fillies running a distance of seven furlongs for a purse of $40,000.

Lots of star power in the irons for this race, but I’m sticking with the 9/5 morning line favorite — Skyfly, with Emisael Jaramillo aboard. This filly moneyed her single career start with a second-place finish at Gulfstream Park a month ago.

There is actually a 15/1 long-odds entry in this six-horse race, but as you might imagine, that horse isn’t likely to see anything during the race but the backsides of the other horses.

This is an allowance race for three-year-old Florida-bred fillies running a distance of six furlongs for a purse of $40,000.

This might be the closest call I’ve made in months, but I’m going with the second-favored (5/2) entry here — State Crown, ridden by Jose L. Ortiz. This filly finished in the money once in her two career starts — she finished a hair behind third-place at Belmont Park last October, then broke her maiden with a win at Woodbine later that same month.

At 12/1, Romantical Note, ridden by Leonel Reyes, is a good value show ticket. This filly moneyed three of her four career starts, winning one.

This is an allowance optional claiming race for four-year-olds and upward running a distance of one mile for a purse of $47,000.

While the morning line’s favorite is better at finishing in the money, I like the second-favored (4/1) entry’s ability to win races, so my money’s on Lookin At Roses, with John R. Velazquez in the irons. This five-year-old gelding finished in the money nine of his 17 career starts, with four of those wins.

And I really like the 20/1 longshot Target Tales, with veteran jockey Joe Bravo aboard, for a value show wager. This four-year-old gelding moneyed four of his five career starts, winning one.

Gulfstream Park had plenty of wagering opportunities for us, and I found more of the same at the other two tracks I reviewed for Wednesday:
