Another attraction is the tenth race—a $55,000 maiden special weight at six furlongs  on dirt for two-year-olds.

The dirt track is listed as fast and the turf is listed as firm.  Six races (the odd-numbered ones) are scheduled for turf.

The Weather Channel forecast is for a 20 percent chance of rain early in the afternoon and 40 percent chance of thunderstorms late in the afternoon in Hallandale Beach where Gulfstream is located.

Carryovers

Gulfstream has a Rainbow 6 carryover of  $157,221.30 on Saturday.

The Rainbow 6 is on races seven through twelve. It is a 20-cent only per combination bet.  Multiple horses can be used in each race, thus creating multiple combinations.

In addition, Gulfstream has a carryover of $2,282.03 on the Super Hi-5 in the first race.  That carryover is the result of there being no tickets with the first five finishers in correct order in Friday’s tenth and final race.  The Super Hi-5 is a $1 minimum bet.

Friday Results

Curlin’s Approval rolled to a five-length win over Delta Girl in Friday’s ninth and feature race, a $43,000 allowance at 6 ½ furlongs on dirt for fillies and mares three-year-olds and up.

Emisael Jaramillo rode the three-year-old Curlin’s Approval who won in 1:16.57 on the track listed as fast.

The win was the second in three starts for Curlin’s Approval, a Kentucky-bred daughter of Curlin.

She won her debut at six furlongs at Gulfstream on June 5.  She finished fifth in the Azalea Stakes at Gulfstream on July 2.
