7th: 50th Gulfstream Oaks (G2), 3yo-F, 8.5f (P4, P3, DD)
Off the Tracks is trying significant quarter mile stretchout from 6.5 and there is no shortage of front-end interested missees here. A gal that can sit off the pace may ambush the (potentially) tiring favorite late. I say that while recognizing that these types in the Pletcher barn at Gulfstream seem able to find a hidden gear..
Most Likely: #7 Off the Tracks 6-5 3rd

8th: 69th Appleton (G3), 4+, 1m-T/0′ (P3, DD)
Nice edition of this standard that honors one of the patriarchs of Florida breeding, Bridlewood Farm’s Arthur Appleton. Divisidero came back nicely as a 4yo in the Canadian and should be sharper today though a lack of significant pace may blunt his late run. Saez picks up newly connected Reporting Star (6-1) who offers real value along with Sky Captain (10-1). Force the Pass (7-2) makes 4yo debut today and contends with natural development..
Most Likely: #8 Reporting Star 6-1 WON ($19.00)

Bit of a scramblin’ jumble. Note that Jaramillo maintains on Bothersofthetime and Zayas on Grande Shores, so Navarro tabs Bocachica for 5-2 Defer Heaven. Plucky Griff (15-1) came back running from his extended break and is a horse that never misses a check..

14th: 69th Florida Derby (G1), 3yo, 9f (Super Hi-5)
In some ways, given the $1,000,000 bonus and uncertainty about his classic distance abilities, this is a bigger spot for Nyquist than Mohaymen. Assuming they come together at an appropriate point in the race, should be a fascinating matchup and Nyquist’s here-to-fore gritty effort provides an edge. Note that Fellowship makes Derby field with a 3rd or 4th..
