Trip notes by Michael Hammersly for stakes races run on Saturday, December 10.
How Daily Racing Form writer Mike Watchmaker will play Gulfstream on Saturday, which is Juvenile Showcase Day with all 11 races for 2-year-olds.

Saturday's Los Alamitos program features two Grade 1, $300,000 events for juveniles: the Los Alamitos CashCall Futurity for males and the Starlet for fillies. Both races are featured in the late pick four.
