Below is our free late Pick 4 for Gulfstream Park:

Gulfstream Park December 31, 2022

Race 8: Maiden Optional Claiming

Out of all the stakes races on the card, this is the one that looks the most wide-open on paper. We went four deep in this spot hoping to get through; however, if you can deeper this would be the spot to do it. A case can be made for nearly every horse in the race.

Race 9: Starter Optional Claiming

Will #12 Colonel Liam be ready to fire once again off of the layoff? If so, this race runs through him, but we are not fully trusting him in this spot. #7 City Man and #1 Street Ready are in great form, which gives them an advantage over the heavy favorite. We will use those three and hope to make it through to the next race.

Race 10: Allowance Optional Claiming

We are four deep once again in this spot. This spot is not quite as wide-open as a few of the others, but there are four logical contenders to use in this spot. The Saffie Joseph, Jr. duo looks tough, but #4 Simplification runs very well over this track. Also, #8 Clapton can sneak up and win this one at a price.

Race 11: Claiming

We will round out the card using only two horses in this spot. #11 Marketsegmentation seems like the logical candidate to win, but this far outside post is going to be a bit tricky. #5 Texas Shuffle has drawn a better post position, while the horse looks to be ready to run a big race for solid connections.
