The 2017 Gulfstream Park Championship meeting kicks off with an 11 race program dominated by the Claiming Crown. Full fields abound throughout the afternoon. A picture perfect day in south Florida, sunny with temperatures in the low 80's.The main track was very fast during training hours this morning and the turf course is firm.

The main event on the day is the $200,000 Jewel with Gigantic Breeze the  tepid ML choice at 4-1 despite the fact he's never run on dirt.  Chunnel will look to extend his current win streak to four in a row and is well posted on the rail for trainer  Jorge Navarro, who posted a hat trick on closing day at Gulfstream Park West. Expect him to go postward below his 6-1 ML.  Turco Bravo also demands respect dropping into starter allowance company.  Also posted favorably near the inside, will run all day, should be coming strongest at the end.
