The Handicap Wizard Turf Program had a good result yesterday in race 10 at Gulfstream, the $75K Tropical Park Derby, run at 1 1/6 mi. on the turf for three-year olds. The program’s second selection (by less than one percentage point), #13 Halladay, with a 16.36% winning probability won at 7-2, while it had the top three finishes in its top three selections. The race largely mirrored the results in the final speed (SPD) category, where it went Temple (32.9%), Halladay (26.9%) and Faraway Kitten (13.5%) fourth. Faraway Kitten’s Winning Percentage at 12.8% pushed it into the top three according to Total Winning Probability. In the race, Halladay broke well from the gate from the far outside post and settled in second behind #9 Notorious Nick going around the first turn. Halladay then charged past Notorious Nick on the back stretch and maintained the lead around the far turn and into the final stretch. #3 Faraway Kitten came off the rail to make a three-wide bid, but Halladay held on doggedly on the inside. #6 Temple came up late down the center to take third in the tri-fecta. Halladay paid $8.60 for the win. The $1 exacta paid $44.10, while the $0.50 tri-fecta paid $118.80.
