| Huge crowd turns out for opening day |
|
Gulfstream Park: A huge crowd delighted in balmy South Florida weather, full fields and winning performances from the popular gray horse Delightful Kiss in the Hal’s Hope Handicap (G3) and the ultra-fast 3-year-old Notonthesamepage in the Spectacular Bid Stakes at Gulfstream Park Saturday, opening day of the 79-day meeting.

GEIR STABELL takes a look back on the most significant results and performances during the past week, assesses the formlines, also collateral lines, and looks ahead to future targets for the leading players.
Was he in the same race..?
and where did he come from?
InFocus Jan 5: Impressive? You bet! When the Wesley Ward trained colt Notonthesamepage passed the winning post in the Spectacular Bid Stakes, one might easily be thinking that his name was ‘Notinthesamerace’. This son of Catienus, a stallion that has up to now been better known as an influence for stamina, was undoubtedly the star of the show on opening day at Gulfstream Park. How good could this three-year-old turn out to be? Where will he run next? Will he stay further or is he a pure sprinter? Whatever he is, Notonthesamepage will win more valuable races than this. That’s for sure.
Delightful Kiss, who came from last to first to land the Hal’s Hope Handicap (G2), is a different type of horse altogether. Now aged five, he has always shown a lot of stamina, which must be why the public let the best horse in this mile race go off at a generous 5-1. After trailing the field by over fifteen lengths down the backstretch, Delighful Kiss swept by them all for an emphatic win – in what was a perfect prep for Sunshine Millions day in three weeks’ time.

| Indian, Jack and Strike… all pointing to Dubai... |
|
InFocus Dec 30: With the Dubai International Racing Carnival just around the corner, two interesting shippers emerged from the last two Grade Ones of the year in North America, as the Dubai bound pair Bob Black Jack, winner of the Malibu Stakes (G1), and Indian Blessing, who landed the La Brea (G1), are both being prepared for a trip to the desert.
Trainers Bob Baffert and Tim Kasparoff plan to be at Nad Al Sheba on Dubai World Cup day. If both horses make it there, they are likely to hook up in the prestigious Dubai Golden Shaheen (G1), run over a straight six-furlong dirt course. This event has been dominated by US trained runners in the past, and the tough Gravesend Handicap (G3) winner Fabulous Strike is also an intended traveller in March. Obviously heading east.
So folks, it looks like the Americans will have a firm grip on the $2 million sprint yet again.

InFocus Dec 22: The Kentucky Derby (G1) is just over four months away. Dive into top class racing over the winter and early spring, at Santa Anita, Gulfstream Park, Nad Al Sheba and so on, and these months might seem relatively short. Be connected to a possible Derby contender, however, and the will seem very long indeed. It is a time of hope, anticipation, and it is a time of worry. Is he good enough? Will he stay the Derby distance? Will he stear clear of injuries and other mishaps? If the answer to all those three questions are yes, well, then you might, just might, have a chance.
Pioneerof The Nile is the name in the news this week. He’s got the right profile, the right connections, and the right results, but quite how classy he will be at three is anybody’s guess. Also, there must be a question whether he can beat I Want Revenge again in future events.
