What do you do with a late pick 4 sequence like the one Saturday at Gulfstream, where in the second leg you have a prohibitive favorite and near-universal single who is also an extremely likely winner in Jaywalk? You bet the late pick 5 instead. That one extra race exponentially increases payoffs, even in Jaywalk-like situations. So, here’s my thinking on Saturday’s late pick 5 at Gulfstream, which begins in race 10. As it turns out, three of the races in this sequence were the races I used in my Weekend Warrior column this week. :: Build your pick five ticket with DRF TicketMaker Race 10 – I’m not using morning-line favorite Identifier anywhere in this maiden special weight route for 3-year-olds. He’s had his chances, and I just find others – namely Felix the Fox, Haunt, and Ownitifyouwantit – much more appealing. Felix the Fox ran in four live maiden races last year in New York, hitting the board in the last three of them, and gets a positive equipment change with blinkers on for trainer Shug McGaughey, who’s having a strong meet. Haunt was going well at the end sprinting in his recent debut and suitably stretches out to a route, while Ownitifyouwantit was an improved second in an identical spot most recently and looks like the controlling speed. I’ll also throw in High Amplitude as a backup. High Amplitude finished a distant second to Fountain of Youth favorite Hidden Scroll in his only start and has every right to improve and like added distance. My main concern with him, and the reason why he’s only a backup for me, is he was dead on the board in his debut. Race 11, the Honey Fox – As I noted in the Warrior, Precieuse is much the horse to beat as she was a Group 1 stakes winner earlier in her career and was a sharp second in her U.S. debut last summer to the subsequent Grade 1 winner Uni. Yes, Precieuse is coming off a seven-month layoff, but she’s out of the Chad Brown barn, one of the best layoff outfits in the business. However, I took Valedictorian for the upset. Valedictorian went wire to wire to upset the Suwannee River last time, is in career form, and can control on the front end once again. Either way, these two are the only two I want in this race and both are “A” designees for me. Race 12, the Davona Dale – Jaywalk, last year’s champion 2-year-old filly off dominating victories in the Frizette and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies, will probably be 1-5. She’s my lone “A,” but I will throw in Bold Script as a backup because I won’t allow her to blow up this sequence without me. Bold Script won off in the Princess Elizabeth last fall in her last appearance, and in her first start in a surface other than turf, which she also ran well on. She is an unknown on dirt, but she’s been working well enough on it this year at Palm Meadows. Race 13, the Fountain of Youth – This was the lead race in my Warrior column and I went with Bourbon War to upset Hidden Scroll for reasons that are explained in detail in that piece. But in terms of pick 5 wagering, I will use them in equal strength as mains. I’ll also throw in Vekoma and Code of Honor as backups. Vekoma is included on the chance that he really is as good as his 2-year-old form suggests he might be. And Code of Honor will be used lightly on the chance that his second in the Champagne was not an aberration, that he will route, and because he closed in the Champagne, and this race has the potential to fall apart late. Race 14, the Mac Diarmida – As I noted in the Warrior, the Grade 1 stakes winner Channel Maker is clearly the best horse in this race, but I fear his outside draw in this three-turn turf marathon might lock him into a wide trip throughout. I like Hunter O’Riley. I expect him to benefit from a decent fourth in his recent return from a long layoff and he has back races that are good enough for this spot. But I will also use Zulu Alpha as a main horse along with Hunter O’Riley. Yes, Zulu Alpha had a perfect trip when he won the stakes Hunter O’Riley comes out of, but his positional speed puts him in line for a perfect trip every time. Out of respect, Channel Maker will be used as a backup along with Highland Sky, who occasionally runs a race that would put him in the mix. Here’s my play in main/backup format: Race 10: 1, 2, 6/7 Race 11: 1, 2 Race 12: 1/6 Race 13: 4, 7/1, 5 Race 14: 4, 6/8, 11 That main/backup play without any presses (one should always at least press the all “A” ticket), comes to $52. If one was inclined to all these horses in equal strength on one ticket, the base play would be $128.
