Pick for Thursday February 8, 2024:

Yes, that is right: THURSDAY.


IT'S A WEEKDAY PICK AND I CAN'T GO TO THE RACETRACK TO BET ON THIS RACE.

I'm happened to be working on this day.

It's a bummer!

Anyhow, if you're able to go to the racetrack -- GREATE!

I have a very good pick for you this Thursday February 8, 2024.

Track: Gulfstream Park
Race: 8

You know how I feel about Tapeta.


Field (in post position order):

1. Raining Sugar (ML 30-1)
2. Scootaloo (ML 30-1)

11. Demar's Legacy (ML 8-1)
12. San Pantaleo (ML 5-1)
13. Karaya (ML 8-1)



Bet Pretty Liam (ML 9-5) to win and place.

Yes, that is right: WIN/PLACE.

Use the triple down WIN/PLACE betting strategy to make it worthwhile and justified going to the racetrack, and you should be going home as a winner.

I expect Pretty Liam to win the 8th race on this Thursday February 8, 2024.

The only worry that I have is the Tapeta surface and she might get beat because of it.

Her last race in which she ran on the Tapeta surface she struggled mightily but because she is so talented that she was able to overcome her dislike of the Tapeta surface.

Some horses love Tapeta surface and the majority of them hate it, and Pretty Liam is one of those horses who hates the Tapeta surface.

Having said that, Pretty Liam will win this 8th race on this Thursday February 8, 2024.

She is so talented that she can run on gravels while the rest of the field run on a fast dirt surface or on Tapeta and she will beat them all fair and square.

That's how talented she is -- and she will overcome the obstacle of not liking the Tapeta (in my opinion).

If you look at her last (and only) race, she struggled in the early part of the race and until inside the 8th pole that her talent took over and she blew by the early pace setters to win going away very impressively.

Yes, we're seeing a star is in the making in Pretty Liam.

I don't think her trainer Todd Fletcher realizes how dislike Pretty Liam is about the Tapeta surface.

Fletcher probably saw Pretty Liam's performance from the 8th pole to the end and thinks that Pretty Liam likes the Tapeta surface.

But I saw it differently, and that is, Pretty Liam doesn't like the Tapeta surface.

She struggled mightily in the early part of that race, but only because she is so talented that she was able to overcome her dislike of the Tapeta surface.

That's the conclusion I jump to about Pretty Liam's Tapeta surface.

You can read more about Pretty Liam profile in my post that I wrote on January 11, 2024 -- and that you can find it down about 7 or 8 posts down this thread.


Even after saying all that I can say this (and I believe whole-heartedly in it):

This is the easiest money you'll ever going to get on the card at Gulfstream Park or at any other racetracks on this Thursday February 8, 2024.

I repeat: Pretty Liam will win the 8th race on this Thursday February 8, 2024.


Pretty Liam's final odd will most likely be right around 6/5 favorite.

Take this easy money 9/5 (or at whatever the price is -- 6/5 is my guess) and leave the racetrack as a winner.
