Gulfstream Park on Saturday boasts a big card headlined by the Mr. Prospector (G3), featuring the return of White Abarrio. The son of Race Day last competed in the afternoons in late August in the Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) since he was scratched prior to the running of the Breeders’ Cup. The race looks like a two-horse battle between he and Knightsbridge, so I will look elsewhere to use the 20% that Xpressbet and 1/ST BET customers will receive on all Win bets Saturday in Hallandale Beach up to $25. Just remember to register on the promotional landing page. Here are a few horses I like on the 11-race slate.

Race 6:

The Saturday Pick 6 kicks off with this MSW event for 2YOs going the one-turn mile over the main track where I like the chances quite a bit of morning line favorite #2 Boss Dylan. The $400k OBS April 2025 purchase debuted in a full field MSW going 6.5-furlongs at Churchill Downs in late November for trainer Brendan Walsh. In that first try, the Liam’s Map colt completely botched the start of the race, but ran extremely well from there considering. A gate-to-wire winner won the race for Brian Lynch, while Boss Dylan passed all, but one of his rivals to finish second. I do not always like backing horses with slow starts and big late runs on debut, but this guy looks serious. He retains Tyler Gaffalione and should love the added ground. Hopefully, a firster or two gets steamed and helps our price.

Play: #2 Boss Dylan (2-1 ML)


Race 9: Abundantia Stakes

The other stakes race on the Saturday agenda is this 5-furlong turf dash for fillies and mares where #6 Love Appeals was made the 2-1-ML favorite by oddsmaker Brian Nadeau. She has a shot off the freshening shipping in for Miguel Clement, as does 3-1-second choice #8 Moon Spun, who just won convincingly off a 13-month respite. Neither of them are outright tosses for me, but I greatly prefer the value #7 Le Amazonia offers. Now, I realize the daughter of Practical Joke is winless in 4 starts over the lawn, but she did finish second in two of those tries. Plus, in her most recent start on the grass on Halloween she ran better than her final fourth place finish would suggest. In that October 31 race over this surface and distance, Le Amazonia battled throughout before giving way to three rivals from off the pace. With less speed signed on in this one, I think the Victor Barboza Jr. trainee appears poised for a big effort near or on the front end. At her price, she is worth a swing, especially with a 20%-win bonus.

Play: Le Amazonia (15-1 ML)


Race 11:

The Saturday finale is a first-level allowance event at two-turns over the grass and there is not much early speed signed on. The race shape is likely to benefit #4 Capturing. The daughter of More Than Ready makes her first start since early May for Hall of Famer Todd Pletcher. Her last race before the break is a complete toss since it was washed off the grass, but the prior two efforts should put her in the mix assuming she moves forward after nearly eight months of rest. She showed enough tactical speed in her two turf routes to think Johnny V will be aggressive off the layoff from an inside draw. Whether she makes the lead or sits just off, I like her chances to best this bunch off the break at a playable ML offering.

Play: #4 Capturing (9-2 ML)
