Fearless wins the 2021 Gulfstream Park Mile at Gulfstream

Coglianese Photos Fearless takes the Gulfstream Park Mile in February. He is the 124-pound highweight in Sunday's one-mile handicap.

12:20 AQU 1^st MILL STONE Creek (#2, 15-1) switched back to dirt last time at Finger Lakes and finished gamely for second after a winner that had gotten the jump on her around the turn; that wasn’t the first time she had run well on the main track; ships back in at the right level. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

12:58 GP 2^nd Last time-out mdn.-claiming winners such as BRONX (#5, 4-1) giving an N2L condition a first try is often a shaky proposition, but the fact Zerpa now jams the Arindel homebred down for this bottom-level tag helps mitigate the situation, along with the superior Beyers (67, 64) he earned in his last two; right back at them. – Marty McGee | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:58 OP 2^nd MO CHOCTAW (#5, 5-1) can make an impact in his debut, if he runs to the bullet half-mile he worked over the local strip last month. – Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:11 AQU 5^th BONANA FANNA FOE (#8, 10-1) is dropping back down and cutting back in distance after showing improved speed in her last three starts, though she did lose twice as the favorite at Finger Lakes while on short rest; last sprinted for this tag in September at Belmont in a fast-paced race that went to a closer. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:26 GP 5^th DOUBLE HAPPINESS (# 4, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Marty McGee). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:55 GP 6^th Couple of live chances here for Team Fawkes in kicking off the late pick five, with perhaps STEEL CITY DUDE (#3, 4-1) the better of an uncoupled duo in this two-turn synth starter for 2yos; Brevan Stable homebred can move forward off that solid runner-up try 30 days ago in this same type of spot. – Marty McGee | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:09 AQU 7^th BLUSHABLE (# 4, 8-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

6:39 LRC 9^th STRADARI (#2, 4-1) drops to $6.2K claiming for her first start in two months. She won two of her last three daytime races against better, she has won over the LRC track, and has speed for an up-front trip in a field without much pace. – Brad free | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
