One Fast Dream returns to the grass in Gulfstream Park\u2019s 4th race on Friday afternoon. Scheduled post time is 1:38 p.m. ET. Race financials can be viewed\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 3-year-old colt has shown glimpses of talent in his races, but has yet to put it all together. We took a little bit of a gamble trying the dirt most recently, but it was a quick lesson and the Casse team feels we\u2019ll see a better performance returning back to what we now believe is his preferred surface.<\/p>\n

This is a competitive spot, but also a wide-open event. The three logical morning-line choices, #9 Scramble, #11 Expect More and #12 Ganado, all have vulnerabilities. The most intriguing part of this race which plays into One Fast Dream\u2019s favor is the lack of pace. Based on the early foot he showed last time out, we would expect him to have a presence early as long as he breaks cleanly. He will be piloted by Emisael Jaramillo, a solid gate rider, for the first time. #10 Carlin Clan looks to be the speed of the speed among those who have run, and One Fast Dream could sit a great stalking trip while saving ground (we of course don\u2019t know how much speed the firsters possess). He is 20-1 on the morning line and will need to turn his current form around, but this race should tell us a lot.<\/p>\n

About the competition (click\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0for the race past performances):<\/p>\n

#1 Ghost Coast (20-1):<\/strong>\u00a0Drew a tough post on debut and ran evenly in an off the turfer. Now goes from the far outside to the rail, and will at least have the shortest way around. Fairly pricey runner has some pedigree and a right to be better than he showed first out.<\/p>\n

#3 Jeby (8-1):<\/strong>\u00a0Was a solid runner-up in his second career start while overcoming a wide trip. Receives Lasix for the first time. Wouldn\u2019t count this one out.<\/p>\n

#4 Operation Torch (12-1):<\/strong>\u00a0Full sibling to these connections\u2019 Grade I winner Civil Union. That one was a winner on debut going a route of ground on the turf. Have to respect this one despite Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey\u2019s reputation for patience.<\/p>\n

#5 Exude (12-1):<\/strong>\u00a0The first of two Bill Mott firsters. Not necessarily bred for the turf ,as both sire and dam made all starts on the dirt. Hard to question another the Hall of Fame trainer, but leaning towards watching this well-bred son of Tapit on debut.<\/p>\n

#6 Covet (8-1):<\/strong>\u00a0Bill Mott\u2019s second first timer, who also doesn\u2019t scream turf on paper, did have a bullet work over the grass at Payson Park, covering five furlongs in 1:00.20. Did cost some money as a juvenile.<\/p>\n

#7 Equal Protection (15-1):<\/strong>\u00a0Pricey yearling purchase has been unsuccessful on the dirt in two career starts. Lacks speed, and while you have to respect the connections, this is a hard one to support. Given he\u2019s trained by Chad Brown, you\u2019d think he would\u2019ve ended up on the grass sooner than this if they thought that\u2019s what he really wanted.<\/p>\n

#8 Muttawid (6-1):<\/strong>\u00a0Faced One Fast Dream back on Jan. 7 when he came flying home for third. Getting back to the turf and any added distance should be a benefit. Note Pletcher\u2019s main Gulfstream rider Luis Saez rides his other entry Expect More.<\/p>\n

#9 Scramble (3-1):<\/strong>\u00a0This son of Gleneagles has done just about everything but win in his four career starts. He is ultra consistent and must be respected. From a numbers standpoint, he is the horse to beat.<\/p>\n

#10 Carlin Clan (20-1):<\/strong>\u00a0Makes his second start off of a layoff for Robert Falcone Jr. Looks to be the pacesetter in this race, but It will be a question if he can sustain his run late.<\/p>\n

#11 Expect More (7-2):<\/strong>\u00a0The only horse in the field to actually cross the finish like first before being disqualified back on Dec. 31. Has a clear issue from the gate, never breaking cleanly once in his three starts. Still a major contender if he can behave himself.<\/p>\n

#12 Ganado (6-1):<\/strong>\u00a0The lethal combination of Chad Brown and Irad Ortiz Jr. know their way to the winners\u2019 circle. Ran very respectable on debut at Tampa, but the waters are probably deeper here. The winner of his debut returned to finish fourth (beaten 10 lengths) in a first-level allowance at Tampa. Will have to overcome a tough post in addition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
