Jeremy Plonk: Saturday's 15% Win Boost Gulfstream Plays

Gulfstream Park features the Aventura Stakes, Bob Umphrey Turf Sprint and Grade 3 Princess Rooney on a stuffed Saturday card. To add more sizzle, horseplayers at 1/ST BET and Xpressbet can earn a 15% Win Boost up to $20 in bonuses on that day’s Gulfstream card. With that in mind, I’ll spotlight the key win plays to attack.

Gulfstream Park: Race 2 maiden claiming
#2 Sweet Lazarus (5-1 morning line odds) has improved in all 4 starts since coming to Leon McKanas’ barn this summer. Drawn well in post 2 and should sit second or third with every chance to pounce. The little-known trainer has been on a roll since July 25 at 14: 5-3-0 and an ROI of $5.50 for every $1 bet (2-42 at Gulfstream prior in 2025). Win bet #2.


Gulfstream Park: Race 8
#6 Winfromwithin (6-1 morning line odds) has back class to draw upon and should be on full tilt while making his second start after a long layoff and cutting back in distance at the same time. Trainer Jose D’Angelo is 9: 4-0-2 in GP turf sprint stakes in 2024-’25 with winners paying $12, $21, $29 and $35 – a phenomenal $5.46 ROI for every $1 bet. He won with his only route-to-sprint cut-back during that time as well. Win bet #6.


Gulfstream Park: Race 10 Grade 3 Princess Rooney Stakes
#8 Claret Beret (3-1 morning line odds) gets a mulligan for a troubled start in the Grade 1 Ballerina at Saratoga and should be well-spotted here against easier competition and from a comfortable, far outside post over 7 furlongs. Dominated her only start over this track and anything close to her May and June performances can get the victory. Win bet #8.
