There will be no lack of action at Gulfstream Park on Father's Day with a 12 race program highlighted by a Rainbow 6 carryover just south of $600K. The six race sequence kicks off in the 7th race and again includes 3 races on turf, 3 on dirt with moderately sized fields that seem manageable enough and which is not likely to produce a single winner.
The afternoon's main event is the 9th and features the local debut of the $1 million 2yo purchase Ruler of the Nile, who figures to be a heavy favorite under Tyler Gaffalione for trainer Todd Pletcher despite the fact he'll go up against a couple of hard knocking, multiple winners like To Date and Dizzy Gillespie.
The main track is fast, turf firm once again to start the day.
