February is full of promotions at 1/ST BET and Xpressbet, including $2M rewards points Hit & Split opportunities on Saturday afternoons. This week we head to New Orleans for one of the biggest days on the racing calendar at Fair Grounds. The Risen Star (G2) headlines a 12-race card that includes an all-stakes Late Pick 4 sequence that kicks off at 5PM eastern/4PM local time and concludes with the Kentucky Derby qualifier. Finding ways to separate from the public appears a challenge, but here is how I will approach things.Grade Descriptions: Grade A=Highest degree of confidence; Grade B=Solid Play. Grade C=Least preferred or pass; Grade X=probable winner but likely at odds too short to play.Race 9: Mineshaft (G3)Grade: BMain Ticket: 4 Moonlight; 3 Cadet Corps; 7 StowawayBackups: NoneForecast: It could get chalky late, so I will take a swing against the two runners likely to be used most to kick things off. #6 Hit Show is the class of the field and will take some beating, but lacks early speed and might prefer going a touch longer at this point in his career. He is almost certain to be used far more frequently than any other runner. I also am willing to fade Louisiana (G3) winner #2 Accelerize. The son of Omaha Beach took advantage of a favorable voyage over the inside part of the track last month and will be a much shorter price on Saturday. #4 Moonlight is the one I like most, but will use three horses equally. Moonlight did not have things his way in the Louisiana and has had an “in and out” pattern of late. He could be set for his best with Jose Ortiz staying onboard. Gaining separation in this $250,000 event over the main track seems like a must.Race 10: Fair Grounds (G3)Grade: B-Main Ticket: 7 Kupuna; 2 Brilliant BertiBackups: 6 MontadorForecast: I had a more difficult time getting creative in the lone turf race in the sequence. #7 Kupuna has been finishing his races strong since arriving in New Orleans. A repeat of his last will make him tough, but #2 Brilliant Berti is impossible for me to not include. He may not be cranked off the bench, but draws inside and has kept the best company. A strong 5YO campaign seems well within the range of outcomes for this Cherie DeVaux trainee. A win off the four-month break at 9-furlongs would only add to my confidence.Race 11: Rachel Alexandra (G2)Grade: B-Main Ticket: 3 Bella BallerinaBackups: NoneForecast: I have no interest in trying to beat 2-1-ML favorite #3 Bella Ballerina in her first start as a 3YO. The younger sister to champion filly Pretty Mischievous won going away on debut and then held on late when being forced to make first run at a runaway speed in the Golden Rod (G2) to end her 2YO season. The Brendan Walsh trainee has prepared forwardly over this surface and meets a field she should handle to kick off her 2026 season.Race 12: Risen Star (G2)Grade: XMain Ticket: 4 PaladinBackups: 5 Chip HonchoForecast: #4 Paladin enters his first start as a 3YO as one of the favorites to win the Kentucky Derby based on his two races as a juvenile. The Chad Brown trainee’s performances were both flattered by Renegade’s impressive win in the Sam F. Davis last month and he meets a lackluster group all things considered. Paladin is unlikely to be a good bet at his likely off-odds despite being by far the likeliest winner, so if you are committed to trying to beat him on Saturday, #5 Chip Honcho makes the most sense to me. He showed grit to win a subpar edition of the Gun Runner before being caught wide after a slow break in the Lecomte (G3). Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen takes the blinkers off this Connect colt and turns to Luis Saez. An improved effort is expected, but one that is unlikely to be beat Paladin’s “B+” game.

With Valentine’s Day approaching rapidly, it should surprise no one that today marks the continuation of our “Love At First Bet” promotion at 1/ST BET and Xpressbet. For those that did not register and take part earlier this month, it is another simple, yet strong promo. Just register, bet $100 at that day’s selected track, and earn a $10 bonus. A no-brainer if you ask me with Fair Grounds up later this afternoon before their big Risen Star (G2) Day card on Saturday afternoon. I am going to focus on the grass with my plays in the “Big Easy” this afternoon.Race 4:My first play of the day in NOLA comes in this open $30k maiden claimer at one mile over the grass where three runners come in having hit the board at this level in their last start. However, I prefer class dropper #3 Matching Funds. Trainer Chris Block added blinkers to this son of Tiz the Law on January 19 after a modest effort on debut against MSW foes to kick off his career. The shades did not lead to anything near a victory against tougher, but did result in a slight move forward. Now, Block gets realistic and drops the homebred into the maiden claiming ranks for the first time and keeps one of the more underrated turf jockeys in the country aboard. Hopefully, Jareth Loveberry can save ground early and run this field down late.Play: #3 Matching Funds (7-2 ML)Race 6:Class dropper #1 Prince of Light was made the understandable 5-2-ML favorite in this optional maiden claimer at two-turns on the lawn. The City of Light colt has kept better company thus far, draws the inside, and retains Jose Ortiz, but is likely to get bet down quite a bit. I will try to beat the Brendan Walsh trainee with #2 Fast Connection. The son of Connect has taken a noticeable move forward since trainer Joseph Foster moved him to the grass two-back. Foster took the blinkers off him for the first time last out and it not only led to a career best performance, but nearly his first lifetime victory. Unfortunately, he was beaten at the wire by a horse that was able to save far more ground. The inside draw and his tactical speed should result in a great trip and his first career victory later today.Play: #2 Fast Connection (7-2 ML)Race 8:This first-level allowance at 1 1/16-miles over the grass is one of the more competitive races on the day and the pace certainly should be honest. I am hopeful #9 Lucky Mischief is the one to take advantage. The son of Yoshida has only crossed the wire once in his career, but it came against a MSW field at Keeneland in 2024. Since then, he has taken on quality competition for the most part, but has been just okay. Trainer Dallas Stewart added the blinkers last time out and it led to one of the best runs of his career and a victory via DQ. Stewart moves him in up in class and keeps jockey Axel Concepcion aboard. He should be rolling late at a solid price, if Concepcion is able to avoid significant ground loss from the outside draw.Play: #9 Lucky Mischief (8-1 ML)

The Lead:Trainer Brian Lynch looks to continue to shred the competition during the Gulfstream Park Championship Meet when he sends out the headliner in the Race 11 Royal Delta Stakes. The intriguing mix has a few rising stars, the race's defending champion, a Kentucky Oaks runner-up and a west coast export. The 1-1/16 miles test for fillies and mares is named for the 2-time Breeders' Cup Distaff winner Royal Delta, who had a win and a second in this race when it was previously named the Sabin Stakes.Saturday's Royal Delta will be part of the Sunset 6 wager between Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita (final 3 races at each track daily). Note the Sunset 6 has a $33K carryover heading into Friday's card. And for those looking ahead, Gulfstream will offer a mandatory Rainbow 6 payout on Sunday to close out the weekend.​​Field Depth:Grade 2 winner NOTHING LIKE YOU is joined by Grade 3 winners ALPINE PRINCESS, SHRED THE GNAR and DAZZLING MOVE. DREXEL HILL is Grade 1-placed.​Pace:SHRED THE GNAR has wired 3 straight fields and figures to make the front once again. The pressure doesn't look overwhelming and it's likely this race is controlled on or near the front with a short run to the first turn and sixteenth-pole finish line in play.Our Eyes:Here are my horse-by-horse notes.#1-ALPINE PRINCESS: Consistent and well-placed 2025 season was capped with career-best in Grade 2 Falls City. Not a blazer, but should be able to hold position with advantageous rail draw. First start at Gulfstream so note an average 13% win rate for sire Classic Empire offspring over the surface. Corey Lanerie won this race in 2021 with Queen Nekia and replaces Irad Ortiz Jr., who will be overseas for the Saudi Cup.#2-SENZA PAROLE (pictured): Blowout local allowance winner January 15 has hinted at future stardom a few times now in a stop-and-start career. Typical bullet worker came out of that win with her customary morning zip as the Chad Brown trainee looks to navigate 2 turns for the first time. Gun Runner filly bred to handle it and benefits from the sixteenth-pole finish line at this trip. Expect inside speed under Miguel Vasquez, another deputy for the traveling Irad Ortiz Jr.#3-EUNOMIA: First of 3 Saffie Joseph Jr. trainees in the lineup as he aims for a third straight score in this race and fifth in the last 7 years. Stakes debut for this Tiz the Law filly who has battled in turf and dirt allowance tests for the bulk of her 11 starts. Edwin Gonzalez rides the Keeneland and Tampa winner who aims for a third straight score. Bullet works of late at Palm Meadows as she tries Gulfstream for the first time (sire Tiz the Law 14% local winners). A cut below these unleash she’s vastly improved.#4-SHRED THE GNAR: Rising star announced her presence here last winter when blowing away maidens in March. She added a Derby Week allowance romp at Churchill before going to the sides and returned in November to win the Grade 3 Chilukki at CD by daylight. Trainer Brian Lynch has a meet-best 7 stakes wins at the current Championship Meet and is winning everything in sight. Into Mischief filly has won around 1 turn and 2 and figures to be a major threat up front throughout the Royal Delta. Mario Gutierrez (13-for-25 with Lynch at GP!) replaces Luis Saez, who will be at Fair Grounds on Saturday.#5-DAZZLING MOVE: Defending Royal Delta heroine will try to keep Saffie Joseph Jr. rolling in a race he’s won 4 times in the last 6 years. Since its 1991 debut, only Awesome Maria in 2011-’12 has managed repeat victories in this race. She’s lost 8 straight since her Royal Delta score and her 2 starts at the current meet don’t inspire a turnaround. Tyler Gaffalione takes over for traveling John Velazquez.#6-NOTHING LIKE YOU: Former Bob Baffert trainee went through the sales ring in November and brought back to training instead of embarking on a broodmare career just yet. New connections sent her to Brendan Walsh and he’s had the 2024 Santa Anita Oaks winner training right on cute at Palm Meadows, capped by a bullet work Feb. 4. She was a cut below the good ones at age 4 and I’ll make her prove it to me at Gulfstream for the first time. Malibu Moon offspring win 13% at Gulfstream on dirt.#7-DREXEL HILL: The 2025 Kentucky Oaks runner-up missed most of the second half of her sophomore season. The Whit Beckman trainee returned on par where she left, but will need a move forward off her listed Wayward Lass score last month at Tampa Bay Downs to best some of these. Jockey Javier Castellano has 3 wins in the Royal Delta (2007, 2008, 2014) and can match John Velazquez’s race record of 4 if successful Saturday.#8-CLARET BERET: Final of 3 entrants for trainer Saffie Joseph Jr., who bids to surpass Todd Pletcher and become the first 5-time winner of the Royal Delta. This primarily sprinter did win a 2-turn allowance at Oaklawn against entry-level rivals a year ago. The wide draw and immediate left-hand turn at this 1-1/16 miles trip can be confounding for a sprinter. She’s run well to be third in the Rampart and Inside Information this meet and a third minor check might be her ceiling.Most Likely Exotics Contender:SHRED THE GNAR is a neck from perfection in 4 starts and has separate wins over the track and at the distance.Best Longshot Contender:None projected in the exacta, but DREXEL HILL at 20-1 morning line has been first or second 7 times in 10 starts and her ceiling isn't as well-known as some of these.Sending it in ($100 bankroll):$100 exacta SHRED THE GNAR over SENZA PAROLE.

The anticipation builds as the carryover pool grows. No one has cashed out on the Sunset 6 wager in three weeks, leaving $33,119 in the Friday the 13th pool for anyone who picks the last three winners at both Gulfstream and Santa Anita Park. It costs $1 to play, or $108 for our ticket listed below:GP 8th race (3:50 p.m. EST) -- HEIR TO THE ROAR is the most consistent runner in the field but has yet to race on turf. Her dam’s siblings were 0-for-14 on the lawn. BABY BLOCKS shows consistent grass form but she finished second four times in a row and is 0-5 on the Gulfstream turf. WILDLY SPEEDY is an allowance runner-up, but she faltered as the favorite last June in which the top three finishers are a combined 17/1-0-0 since then. Hit the ‘ALL’ button in Leg 1.GP 9th race (4:20 p.m. EST) -- FIVE G traveled cross country off a nine-month layoff for her first Grade 1 race, but she ‘climbed early’ and back-pedaled to last on the Santa Anita turn in the 7F La Brea. She returns to the scene of a wire-to-wire victory in the Grade 2 Gulfstream Park Oaks last March and gets Lasix off a string of steady workouts. CONTRARY is hitting her best stride for her first stakes attempt. She stalked the pace-controlling second favorite in the 4-path and got up late to prevail in a one-mile allowance last out, earning a second consecutive upper-80 speed figure. SUGAR FISH won two Grade 2 route races during a blockbuster freshman season, but raced only twice as a 3-year-old. She makes her seasonal debut for trainer Saffie Joseph Jr., who sent out the 1-2 finishers in the $3 million Pegasus World Cup.GP 10th race (4:50 p.m. EST) -- ENGLISH ROCKER rallied mildly between rivals in a turf marathon two back, finishing behind the likes of Grade 3 runner-up Chapman’s Peak and Maiden Special Weight winner Blast Furnace (82 Beyer). He can factor at a good price in his first start for a claiming tag. AUTHENTIC LEGEND posted three bullet workouts for his seasonal debut but raced evenly in a fast-paced grass route at 1-1/16 miles. He was guided to the 5-path for the stretch drive when third at this level two starts ago.SA 6th race (6:03 p.m. EST) -- It’s anybody’s race in this Maiden Special Weight turf mile. MIDNIGHT STRIKE is 5/0-0-0 going long on the turf, but he has a good work tab for his return from an eight-month layoff, the right running style with plenty of speed in the compact field and, most importantly, met eight next-out winners in those starts with high-end speed figures, not to mention eventual Grade 2 winner Call Sign Seven and Grade 3 victor Nitti.SA 7th race (6:33 p.m. EST) -- ARTISMA finished second in three consecutive sprints at this level before an unsuccessful Grade 1 try. She stalked a three-way duel two starts back, loomed boldly with a 4-wide bid on the turn but came up a neck short of victory in a longer sprint than today. She is one of two solo plays in the Sunset 6.SA 8th race (7: 03p.m. EST) -- JOHN METCALFE led and held second in three consecutive one-mile races before he was roughed up at the start and no factor in the Cal Cup Derby. He dueled on a short lead in his lone grass test, holding second after favored Unrivaled Time passed by for the win, the same Unrivaled Time who won a Grade 3 stakes next out. ROBIN OLDS debuts for trainer Phil D’Amato, who won with 2 of his last 7 first-out turf starters at Santa Anita. The 3-year-old colt will try to follow in the footsteps of his dam, Enola Gray, who was 4-for-6 on the lawn with a Grade 3 win and three minor stakes victories against Cal breds. Our Sunset 6 hopes will rest on these two runners, but if FLASH OF LIGHTNING draws into the race, add #10 to the final leg.Suggested $1 TicketGP 8th Race: ALLGP 9th Race: 1, 4, 7GP 10th Race: 5, 6SA 6th Race: 3SA 7th Race: 8SA 8th Race: 4, 8 (add #10 if he draws in)Cost: $108

Prices were hard to come by last week as a season-low $110.50 total bankroll proved best in Week 6 of the 21st season of the Xpressbet Beat the Host handicapping contest. Credit to Keith Vanlanen for leading the way and earning the $1000 weekly first prize. Next up will be host Samantha Perry, paddock reporter at Gulfstream Park, as the contest hits its final 3 weeks of the regular season.Vanlanen’s Week 6 score narrowly edged runner-up Gary Kioyhara at $106.00, which earned a $750 prize. Maria Cimino posted a $98.50 total that netted her $250 in prize money. Overall, 51 players managed to Beat the Host (Santa Anita pregame host Tom Quigley). That means 534 spots have been punched to the Beat the Host Championship Round on March 7.The $65,000 Beat the Host competition encompasses 10 races each contest Saturday, split between the final 5 Gulfstream Park races and first 5 from Santa Anita. Contestants place $5 win bets on the Xpressbet platform for each of the 10 Beat the Host races, earning their parimutuel winnings as well as prize pools.All contestants who beat the cumulative bankroll total of the host each Saturday qualify for the Beat the Host Championship on March 7.

Only 5 of 793 registrants remain eligible for the Sweep the Host bonus after 6 weeks this season.A check-in for the season-long leaderboard in contest earnings shapes up this way: Christopher Cupples’ lead has tightened on top with $491.75 bagged. He’s chased by Phillip Perkins ($466.75), Steven Busching ($404.25), Ron Watson ($395.50) and top-5 newcomer Richard Atlass ($391.25).The BTH Championship pits all weekly winning players against one another in pursuit of seats in the lucrative Pegasus World Cup Betting Challenge, Xpressbet Santa Anita Derby Challenge and Xpressbet Florida Derby Challenge tournaments.Last season, 496 of 711 Beat the Host players were able to top the host total at least once during the season. Glenn Gulden paced all players in the cumulative season totals last year, while George Blanchard took down the top prize in the Beat the Host Championship round finale.Tournament & Host Schedule:Saturday, January 3, 2026 - Pete AielloSaturday, January 10, 2026 - Millie BallSaturday, January 17, 2026 - Michelle YuSaturday, January 24, 2026 - Scott ShapiroSaturday, January 31, 2026 - Brian NadeauSaturday, February 7, 2026 - Tom QuigleySaturday, February 14, 2026 - Samantha PerrySaturday, February 21, 2026 - Zoe CadmanSaturday, February 28, 2026 - Ron NicolettiSaturday, March 7, 2026 – Beat the Host Championship Round
