Gulfstream Park introduces some new player-friendly wagers as part of their summer Monday programs. Yes, that is right a trio of new horizontals will begin for the first time with the Monday addition to the schedule in Hallandale Beach. The $1 Players Place 8, a wager that challenges bettors to pick the winner or the second-place finisher in all eight races, the $3 Players Late Pick 3, and the $5 Players Late Double all give horseplayers better shots at profiting than most wagers offered by the competition. Here are my thoughts on the first $3 Players Late Pick 3 ever offered at Gulfstream Park Plus, an $86K carryover in the Rainbow 6 has a Monday mandatory payout provision.. Read more about the new Monday lineup here.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 7:Grade: B-Main Ticket: 3 Corta Fuego; 1 Navy CrossBackups: 11 Saratoga FlashForecast: Trainer Nicholas Tomlinson has been scorching of late. In fact, over the last 30 days, Tomlinson is 5 for 12 with a $4.72 ROI and sends out 2-1-ML favorite #11 Saratoga Flash. The son of Laoban makes his first start since an off-the-pace third place finish where he failed to threaten the wire-to-wire winner at odds of 2-1. The decrease in competition is noteworthy, but so is the fact just 1 of his 9 career victories have come over an all-weather surface. He is the one to beat, but I prefer the value a pair of geldings drawn to the inside offer.#3 Corta Fuego is my top choice. The son of Divisdero has been very popular at the claim box and comes in off a runner-up finish versus similar. There is little doubt this is his preferred surface. #1 Navy Cross is a bit more of a stab, but could find himself loose on the lead. This was true last time to an extent, but he took some heat during that second quarter that led to a race shape that favored off the pace. Perhaps Edgar Perez can control the tempo a bit better in this guy’s second start of the form cycle.Race 8:Grade: C+Main Ticket: 4 Sonic SurgeBackups: 2 R WinchesterForecast: I lack creativity in this $30k N2L at 6-furlongs over the main track where class dropper #4 Sonic Surge is the one to beat. The 8-5-ML choice gets some major class relief in his first start against older runners after tackling stakes foes last out. Overall, he has kept far better company than his competition and his one drop into the claiming ranks saw him overcome an outside bias with his inside trip throughout. If he fires, he should win. If not, it is #2 R Winchester’s race to lose. He has been freshened up since his maiden victory on April 25. A repeat of that run at Tampa Bay Downs gives him a significant chance, but regression is certainly within the range of potential outcomes. I will single the chalk on most tickets with one back to the deuce.Race 9:Grade: B-Main Ticket: 3 Curly Sue; 4 Keepsake BoxBackups: NoneForecast: I will try to beat 2-1-ML favorite #9 Elenique in the finale. The daughter of Leinster has been freshened up after her third-place effort against similar on May 9. The Patrick Biancone trainee has been consistent, but also a major money burner through seven starts. She has lost as the post-time favorite five times already and draws to the far outside in this MSW over the grass. I will use #4 Keepsake Box on the move back to the sod for Saffie Joseph and #3 Curly Sue. Trainer Jose D’Angelo has not had a great 2026, but has heated up at in Florida of late. He is 5 for 12 with a $3.64 ROI over the last 15 days and gives this daughter of Curlin her first chance to go long and compete over the lawn. She certainly has the upside still to get the job done.

Yonkers Raceway has a 10-race card. The $1.00 Pick 5 rolls in Race 5, and it has a $10,000 guaranteed pool. My Spot Plays are in Race 1, Race 3, and Race 5. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.Race 1 (6:45 PM EDT)4-Lyons Benjamin (15-1)-Took a picture 3 back and has been claimed in the last 5 starts. Been stuck with the 7-hole in the last 2 races and has cashed small checks. Draws the choice post tonight and that in itself can be the winning difference. Likes to race at the top of the stack and should be no worse than in the 2 hole around the 1st turn. Looks like a main player, can be a solid price but the morning line appears too high.4-3-2Playing #4 Lyons Benjamin to WinRace 3 (7:25 PM EDT)4-Peace Out Posse (6-1)-Was claimed on 6-22 for $30k and then stepped up to face the $40k claimers. Raced evenly to cash a small check and now drops back to the claiming price. This is the level for a win, and that happened 3 back against this kind. Jordan Stratton knows well and should provide an aggressive steer trying to cash the top check.4-2-3Using #4 Peace Out Posse in a Win BetRace 5 (8:05 PM EDT)5-Lyrical Genuis A (4-1)-This 9-year-old was claimed on 5/25 from the Dilloian barn and in the 4 races for that outfit it had 2 wins plus a 2nd and 3rd place finish. Tonight, will make its 1st start after a claim for the same barn. Hasn't raced since 6-22 but this is Jason Bartlett’s choice and he posts 36% wins for this outfit. The Dilloian barn posts 42% winners in the 1st race following a claim. Gets a positive driver change and he should be leaving hard to get on the point. Hasn't raced since 6-22 and trusting the connections will have this one ready to roll.5-1-4Playing #5 Lyrical Genuis A to WinCheck me out on X!

Spencer best bets today in Xpressbet.com member’s section

For the second consecutive Saturday no one was able to solve the $1 Pick 6 at Saratoga leading to a Sunday carryover of $166,703 in the traditional style wager that kicks off shortly before 3PM eastern. Here are a few horses I like most within Sunday’s Pick 6 sequence.Race 4:The Pick 6 gets started with a wide-open MSW event at one-mile for 2YOs over the Inner Turf where #5 Berta’s Stitch was made the 7-2-ML favorite by oddsmaker David Aragona after a strong finish and gallop out on debut going 5.5-furlongs at Aqueduct in mid-June. The pedigree is there to get the two-turns, but a late finish going one turn when lacking early zip does not always translate to a move forward with more ground. The experience advantage is certainly an edge, but the tote will show that. I will try first-time starter #3 Suspend. Hall of Famer Bill Mott used to be good for one upset win with a 2YO in a two-turn MSW turf race each summer at the Spa. His business plan has changed of late with a focus on winning Triple Crown races like he did with Sovereignty, but I like the draw and pedigree on this son of Tapit that is out of a War Front mare that won on debut over the Belmont grass and went 5 for 17 for over $1M in career earnings. He should be fit for his debut after a long series of drills in Florida and New York.Play: #3 Suspend (10-1 ML)Picks: 3-6-5Race 6:Trainer Chad Brown holds a strong hand in this second-level allowance event for fillies and mares at 6.5-furlongs over the main track with 9-5-ML favorite #7 Alyeska and 7-2-second choice #3 Limes Don’t Lie, but the issue is Brown is on an 0-14 skid this week. This obviously includes several runners that looked like they were in with significant chances on paper. The perennial high percentage conditioner will get going at the Spa soon enough, but is hard to back until I see the obvious heat up from his barn. Especially given the probable race shape in the start of the late Pick 4 where there is very little speed on paper outside of #1 She’s a Gamer. The daughter of Game Winner ships in from the Jersey Shore for Kelly Breen after a seven-length winner versus lesser. The extra half-furlong and ability to handle the increase in competition are obvious questions, but she may forget to stop with the lead she should have when they turn for home.Play: #1 She’s a GamerPicks: 1-6-7Race 8:This optional claimer over the Inner Turf will be a tough hurdle for anyone alive after four legs of the challenging Pick 6 sequence since there are a number of ways. #1 Mo Kressa should get a great trip third off the bench at 15-1 on the ML if he can relax along the inside this time, while #8 Hard Circle comes into his second start off the claim for Mertkan Kantarmaci after a trio of promising starts over the grass. That said, #12 The Paddock Pastor at his 8-1-ML offering is tough to pass up. The 5YO gelding ran too good to lose here at the Spa last month. The son of Get Stormy was caught wide throughout on a day where saving ground was imperative, yet still kept trying to the wire at odds of 13-1. The NY-bred enters this spot in the best form of his career and is in with a big chance if jockey Jaime Rodriguez can find a way to work out a favorable trip. He certainly needs to have to have a better plan than he did on June 7, but this horse should be rolling late if able to save any ground into that first turn.Play: #12 The Paddock PastorPicks: 12-1-8

Northfield Park starts the week with a 16-race card featuring Ohio Sires Stakes action. The Spot Plays are in Race 6, Race 11, and Race 13. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.Race 6 (7:50 PM EDT)6-Time Has Come (4-1)-Won 3 back at Nfld and took pictures in the preceding 3 races. Then drew outside in the next 2 starts at Scioto and didn't connect at all. Doesn't get a choice post but should fit nicely with this crew and might be overlooked. Hit the board in all 3 races at Nfld and took 2 pictures. Needs a trip and can roll late off cover. The fractions should be honest and Kurt Sugg has won a couple of times sitting behind the 3-year-old.6-5-3Playing #6 Time Has Come to WinRace 11 (9:40 PM EDT)3-Fun To Love N (7-1)-Beat this kind 4 back and then had excuses in the last 3 races. Likes to get on the engine, Justine Irvine could work that trip and should offer a solid price. Will use in Exactas and hopefully won't be over bet.7-Huntress (5/2)-This is a classy 7-year-old mare who won its only race at Nfld. That start came 2 back versus this kind with tonight's pilot Brett Miller between the pipes. Has the gate speed to be on top or in the pocket around the opening turn. Looks like a main player and will use in an Exacta Box.7-3-1Using #3 Fun To Love N and #7 Huntress in an Exacta Box 3-7Race 13 (10:24 PM EDT)5-Queen Of Fear (5-1)-Comes off a big try versus better from post 7 in the slop. Finished 4th but the trip was wide and bumpy. The 4-year-old is often in the mix at Nfld (14-5-1-2) but is 0-4 on a wet surface. The Ed Miller pupil has the gate speed to get a good early seat. Could be sitting on a big try at a square price.5-1-6Playing #5 Queen Of Fear to WinCheck me out on X!

It's Meadowland Pace Night in East Rutherford New Jersey. Besides the $810,000 headliner that rolls in Race 10 there is a star-studded card with over $2.4 million in purses. The Spot Plays tonight are in Race 5 the Silverman Memorial, in Race 10 the Meadowland Pace, and in Race 11 the Haughton Memorial. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.Race 5 (8:15 PM EDT)5-Perfect Thought (6-1)-Put in a nice effort versus the boys at The Meadows on 7-4 and had been off 3 weeks. Got on the point early on and surrendered the lead to the eventual winner who caught enough of a breather to get to the wire 1st. Did close in 26.1 and my guess is the connections were very happy with that tune up. Tonight, draws inside of the 2 program favorites who have post 6 (Loua Dipa) and post 9 (Be Perfect BG). This will be 1st time for Lasix for Loua Dipa. Be Perfect BG is also in sharp form and is 6-6 at M1. It has won from post 11 but hasn't had post 9 before at the Big M. James MacDonald should have Perfect Thought racing near the top of the stack and could get an efficient trip. She can close in a hurry and should offer a square price. Will look for JMac to have the daughter of Perfect Sting within striking range at the top of the lane.5-9-6Using #5-Perfect Thought in a Win BetRace 10 (10:20 PM EDT)7-Sweet Luvin Lou (6-1)-Last week, Brandon Blvd (2), got the jump on the field and rolled home. After that sparkling performance was installed as the 3/5 morning line chalk. My lean will be toward Lou who rallied hard down the lane to come 2nd. At the 6-1 morning line there is value, and it appeared Scott Zeron executed his plan exactly to script in the Elimination. Zeron didn't put much pressure on the 3-year-old until they turned for the wire. It seemed like there wasn't a doubt he would qualify, and its 1st start on Lasix was successful. The post helps the price, and the odds-on chalk will be a handful, but Zeron should be leaving off the car this week. If the trip is smooth and there isn't too much ground to make up down the stretch the son of Sweet Lou could surprise.7-2-8Playing #7 Sweet Luvin Lou to WinRace 11 (10:45 PM EDT)1-Oakwood Ardan IR (7/2)-Came 2nd last week to Ervin Hanover and raced in 1.47. There would be nothing to be ashamed of if that was the entire story. But the Robert Cleary trainee was also hung the mile and was 1st over from just after the half pole. So, it was a very game performance and now starts form the rail. No doubt, James MacDonald will need to work a more efficient trip, if so, it could be picture time. The 7-year-old hit the board in 16 of 21 at M1 and has taken 14 pictures. Finished 2nd in the last 2 races and could reward backers this time if comes back with another strong effort.1-4-5Will use #1 Oakwood Ardan IR in a Win BetCheck me out on X!
