Gulfstream - Race 10
#6 Algorithms (5/2 ml)
Let's try and beat the Breeders Cup winner (and one of the current Derby favorites) Hansen in this race. Good spot to do so, i think, as this race comes at a one-turn mile, representing a turnback to a sprint-style race after Hansen has been running two-turns in his latest pair, and is simply prepping to go two-turns next time out as well. There's also no shortage of early speed to soften Hansen up here, while the razor-sharp Algorithms has excellent tactical speed and a cozy outside draw, which should enable him to lay in wait just off the fast early pace and then pounce on them turning for home. Looks like a serious threat to the favorite here, and Hansen should be a huge underlay based on his lofty reputation. Perfect spot for an upset.
