There is no less than four regular carryovers today at various tracks. Some of the main ones are Gulfstream, Tampa Bay, Turfway and Sam Houston. I am going to post the one with the biggest one of over $70,000 in the pick 5 at Gulfstream.

Gulfstream Race#7 Pick 5  Post time 4:00pm eastern

Race#7 At my first look I thought the 2 would be very tough to beat. Has all the numbers and angles. But there are two good longshots with a small chance to upset and that is the 4,9. They need the 2 to falter a little but at ml 12-1 its worth a shot. At least in the exacta bet

Race#8 The class is the 6 and is a must use, but not a key. The 6,8 will also get bet and with the right trip can also win. Another big longshot is the 4. I think he is starting to figure out the turf game and could upset at a huge price.

Race#9 I don’t understand the logic on the 4 in here. Runs great on the turf and at first assumed it had to be on the turf. It is not, its on the dirt going six. Race becomes wide open with the 2,4,6,7. If I had to reduce it I would take 4,6. I like the maintenance work and the added Lasix on the 6. A repeat effort on the 4 from the turf makes her tough

Race#10 The 3 is the obvious horse and will be the favourite. Not a trustworthy key though. Playing a cheap ticket isn’t an awful key. The 4 has a shot to improve and then win. 5 and 9 are the unknowns that could also win.

Race#11 I have it down to three horses and that should get you the final leg. 8,10,12. All have the figures to win, all will be closing late. Do need a little pace upfront to set it up for them, if not the 11 steals it.

Here are a few tickets I am playing:  2/4,6,8,9/2,4,6,7/3/8,10,12   $24
4,6,9/6,8,9/4,6/3/8,10,12      $27
2/6,8,9/4,6/4,9/8,10,12      $18

Good luck everyone, another big day tomorrow.
