RACE 4: DANNY CALIFORNIA (#3)

It was “toss two coins into the air” time last week and one of our Pix, Trash Talker, came up heads with two BreezeFigs first-timers filling in two of the other three superfecta spots. Can’t be too greedy in a situation like that. Meanwhile, 21 other BreezeFigs juveniles broke their maidens during a very busy week all across the continent.

This mid-December Saturday is filled with statebred-restricted stakes racing. Fair Grounds has Louisiana Champions Day, which has some playable races, while Aqueduct hosts a division of the New York Stallion Stakes we’ll get to shortly. Tampa put forth a pair of restricted races with constricted fields.

That leaves Gulfstream Park as the Saturday hub of North American stakes action with five open six-figure stakes races, at least three of which have betting appeal and two of which will come under more detailed discussion – right now.
