Jeremy Plonk’s Horse Racing picks for 1/1

133

XpressBet editor-in-chief Jeremy Plonk offers his best bets for Sunday with both at Gulfstream Park.

Gulfstream Park Race No. 7 (3:09 p.m. ET/12:09 p.m. PT)
#2 Pure Pauline (3-1 ML)

 

Ran extremely hard interior fractions chasing a rising star filly in her last start at Churchill Downs. The shorter distance and easier competition will work in her favor for a Todd Pletcher barn that was out-of-this-world in December at Gulfstream. Win bet. Pick Three 2-ALL-4 to our final pick.

Gulfstream Park Race No. 9 (4:10 p.m. ET/1:10 p.m. PT)
#4 Dreaming of Kona (15-1 ML)

Longshot look in the Mucho Macho Man Stakes to one of only a few early speed threats in this race, Dreaming of Kona. He comes off a strong bid at Tampa Bay Downs sprinting. He just may be more brilliant than many of these and take them a very long way at a nice price. Dangerous along with Mr Bob, who could be the other speed. Win bet. Exactas with Mr Bob and Dreaming of Kona on top and with one another (4,8 with 4,8,5,7,10).
