Florida Million Day

The weather here in Miami is beautiful. The skies are expected to be partly cloudy with temperatures in the low 80's. There is a slight chance of passing rain in the afternoon, but, probably not enough to change the races from the Turf. So the track should be fast and the Turf firm, or maybe good if we get a shower.

There are 7 stakes races on the card today, many of which feature 2 year olds. So lets get to it.

Race 4 1 1/8 Mile Bonnie Heath Turf Cup Handicap for 3 year olds and upward registered Florida Breds. Purse = 150K



I expect It' A Bird will run in the 11th, so the 2nd odds set reflects this occurence.

Race 5: 7 Furlongs, Jack Price Juvenile Stakes. Purse $150,000 For Two Year Olds Registered Florida Breds



Race 6 1 1/16 Mile John Franks Juvenile Fillies Turf Stakes. Purse $ 100,000. For Fillies Two Years Old Registered Florida Breds.


Race 7 Joe O'Farrell Juvenile Fillies Stakes, Purse $150,000 For Fillies Two Years Old and Registered Florida Breds



Race 8 Jack Dudley Sprint Handicap. Purse $150,000 For Three Year Olds and Upward Registered Florida Breeds.



Race 9 1 1/16 Arthur L. Appleton Juvenile Turf Stakes. Purse $100,000 For Two Year Olds Registered Florida Breds


Race 10, 1 1/16 Elmer Heubeck Distaff Handicap. Purse $200,000 For Fillies and Mares Three Years Old and Upward Registered Florida Breds.



Race 11 1 1/8 Mile Carl G. Rose Classic Handicap. Purse $200,000 For Three Year Olds and Upward Registered Florida Breds

5. Five of the eight in this race were beaten convincingly by this one in G3 Spendabuck. 7 New horse in race has top local jockey and may be pointed for this one. 1 finished a gaining 3rd to the 5. The extra 1/2 f may help.



Well that's it, remember this posting is entirely my opinion and I don't make my living playing horses. In other words, these opinions are worth exactly what you paid for them

Hope it was a super day of racing. I've been to Calder twice and loved it, loved Miami and the balmy weather there! You certainly lost a wonderful racing secretary when Bobby Umphreys died. I was fortunate to get to know him a few years ago... they don't make 'em like that anymore. Bet he was smilin' down on Calder today!
