Pick for Saturday March 2, 2024:


Coolmore Fountain of Youth Stakes
1 1/16 Miles | Open | 3 Year Olds | G2 STAKES | PURSE: $400,000


Track: Gulfstream Park
Race: 14
Surface: Dirt

Horse: Locked (ML 5-2).


Field (in post position order):

1. Speak Easy (ML 9-2)
2. Le Dom Bro (ML 30-1)
3. Victory Avenue (ML 4-1)
4. Real Macho (ML 8-1)
5. Dornoch (ML 2-1)
6. Merit (ML 15-1)
7. Frankie's Empire (ML 20-1)
8. Locked (ML 5-2)
9. Dancing Groom (ML 30-1)


Bet Locked (ML 5-2) to win and place.

Yes, that is right: WIN/PLACE using the double down betting strategy and you should be going home as a winner.

Put some considerable amount of money on Locked to win and place to make it worthwhile and justified going to the racetrack.

Locked's final odd will most likely be 9/5 favorite and Dornoch is the second choice at 5-2 (I think).

This is the easiest money you'll ever going to get on the card at Gulfstream Park or at any other racetracks on this Saturday March 2, 2024.


Take this easy money 5/2 (or at whatever the price is -- 9/5 is my guess) and leave the racetrack as a winner.


BONUS: Play exacta (partial wheel): Locked (ML 5-2) over Dornoch (ML 2-1) and Victory Avenue (ML 9-2) and Le Dom Bro (ML 30-1).

Yes, three horses underneath the exacta using Locked as the top anchor -- total cost: $6 for a $2 bet.

I usually don't put this too many horses in either top or bottom combination in the exotic plays -- usually two in either the top or bottom combination is the max.

But I don't trust Dornoch to come in second at all.

He might just be taking the day off in this race.

My level of confidence on this exacta (in a scale of 1 to 10), it's a 9.

Yes, that is right: 9 and it's as close to being a 10 as it could possibly be in my opinion with three horses underneath the exacta combination.

So with three horses underneath the exacta combination I feel very confident.

There you have it!
