Today’s race of the day is the Sanibel Island Stakes which goes as the 11th at Gulfstream. It’s for 3YO fillies going 1 mile on the turf course for a purse of $57,000. Here’s the program, analysis and selections for the Race of the Day:
- First Girl – Won first time out on the lawn in her last for a $25K tag going 7 1/2 here earning a career high 72 Beyer for 20% trainer Attard. Gets a new rider in Caraballo who has a positive ROI of a whopping $7.38 when riding for trainer. Big step up to stakes company but draws the rail and has speed and appears to be a different animal on grass. Pricey possibilities.
