Race 5 at Gulfstream, Thurs., Aug. 20

No comments

The program had a nice exacta result in the 5th today at Gulfstream, a $16K maiden claiming race on the turf for three-year-old fillies and mares. In a competitive field with no horse receiving even a 20% win probability, #2 Amadora was the first selection at 7-1 with an 18.0% win probability followed by #7 Centless Drama at 2-1 with 16.69%. Centless Drama was a co-favorite in the odds along with #4 Dance Till Dawn at 2-1. In the race, Centless Drama broke well from the gate and led around the first turn, while Amadora stuck to the rail and stalked three back. On the back stretch, Amadora fought the jockey before being allowed to pick up the pace at the half mile pole. Around the far turn Amadora had cut Centless Drama’s length to two lengths before shooting through a lane to the outside down the stretch and then bolting home to victory. Amadora paid $16.20, while the $2 exacta paid $55.
