RACE 8

Saturday's Gulfstream card features three graded stakes, including the rescheduled Swale at seven furlongs for 3-year-olds.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Before Gulfstream halted last Saturday’s card due to torrential rain, I liked the outside horse to beat the inside-drawn favorite in the Grade 2 Swale. With that race reset for Saturday, that’s still my opinion – only the specific outside-based choice has changed in a redrawn race from X Y Jet to Bluegrass Singer.
