Gulfstream Park Picks & Predictions — July 26, 2026

Happy Feet Hannah is the 8/5 morning-line favorite and sports the field's highest average speed figure at 56 — that's the clearest raw speed edge in this maiden field. Edgar Perez rides for trainer Fernando Abreu, a sharp combination on the Gulfstream circuit. She's our place pick rather than win because at short odds in maiden company, there's always pace-scenario risk, but she's talented enough to hit the board.

The Twins slots in as the show selection with a rating of 54.17 and an average speed figure of 53, giving trainer J. David Braddy a horse who should be forwardly placed early in this seven-furlong trip. Miguel Angel Vasquez is a reliable hand and can save ground from post 7 in a field this size. At 9/2, The Twins is a fair inclusion in the trifecta for bettors looking to keep the ticket at a reasonable price.

Tie It With a Bow makes a compelling place case: a 25% career win rate is strong for this level, and trainer Luis M. Ramirez has her positioned well from post 2 with Pedro Pena in the irons. Her TrackWiz rating of 74.06 is second-best in the field, and at 3/1 morning line, the market is pricing her in correctly as the main threat to Zolene. She's a horse who can fire fresh in a short turf sprint.

Serenity Path at 8/1 is the value show play — trainer Michael S. Morrison has a turf runner here with a 12% career win rate, and while that's modest, Leonel Reyes is well-suited to the tight, tactical nature of a 5-furlong turf sprint. Her rating of 53.74 keeps her in the conversation for exotics at a price that makes the trifecta ticket worth building. Don't overlook that she's drawn post 3, which avoids wide early trips.

Hippy Hippy Shake is the second choice at 9/5 and carries a TrackWiz rating of 80.45 with an average speed figure of 53 — second-highest in the field. Trainer Kathleen O'Connell places her at a route distance that should play to her strengths, and Miguel Angel Vasquez can rate her quietly in a field that may go out hard early. She's a legitimate threat to win and a safe place bet at a short price.

Not One Less represents Antonio Sano's barn, and that alone is worth noting on a South Florida circuit where Sano consistently produces — Wladimir Rengifo takes the mount on a horse rated 75.17, third-best in the field. At 3/1 on the morning line, Not One Less could improve through the early fractions in a route where pace is always a factor. She rounds out the trifecta nicely as a horse whose connections know how to get maiden distance runners ready.

Geaux Amy at 4/1 is the value piece of this puzzle — a 23% career win rate is well above average for claiming company and suggests she consistently runs competitively. Edwin Gonzalez pilots for trainer Dante Zanelli, and her TrackWiz rating of 63.94 makes her the clear second option in our model. If Thunder Princess draws pressure up front, Geaux Amy could be the one rallying on the outside to secure the place position.

Amelia brings a 25% career win rate to this field — the highest of any horse in the race — and Anthony Thomas rides for trainer Diley A. Dakin at 7/2 on the morning line. Her TrackWiz rating of 50.84 may not scream contender, but that win percentage tells a story of a tough-as-nails claimer who has a habit of hitting the board. She's the right horse to anchor the show position in a trifecta.

Winrooski is razor-sharp on paper — a TrackWiz rating of 81.92 and a 27% career win rate are among the best numbers in this field. Trainer Rohan G. Crichton saddles a horse who should be near the front from the inside post, with Edwin Gonzalez pushing buttons from post 3. The reason she's our place pick rather than win is purely a value call: at 2/1 morning line, the win overlay belongs to Amande, but Winrooski absolutely belongs in your exacta.

Prism Pool Pat at 4/1 is a logical show inclusion — a TrackWiz rating of 57.17 and an average speed figure of 55 keep her in the secondary tier, and trainer Steven Dwoskin has Jose E. Morelos up for a horse who can sneak into the trifecta. With the top two horses likely to run each other into the ground in this sprint, a pace setup could open the door for a fresh closer to grab third. At 4/1, it's a fair price to round out your tickets.

Hayden Remembered at 4/1 makes a compelling place case with a TrackWiz rating of 82.29 and a 20% career win rate — solid credentials for allowance optional claiming company. Trainer Tareq Moubarak also has List running in Race 5, suggesting the barn is firing on multiple cylinders today. Miguel Angel Vasquez takes the mount from the rail, and in a one-mile route, that inside post can be a significant positional advantage through the first turn.

Arabia Wild at 7/2 is worth including in exotics — Jesus M. Rios has a live mount for trainer Gustavo Delgado, and the horse's average speed figure of 54 is actually the best in the entire field by a tick. The rating of 58.02 puts her behind the top tier, but this is an allowance optional claiming spot where a horse with a speed edge can overperform the model. She's our hedge play in case the top two run each other into the ground.

Majestic Delight is installed as the 5/2 morning-line favorite and comes in with a TrackWiz rating of 72.98 — second-best in the field. Trainer Garrett W. Arscott places him from the rail with Micah J. Husbands up, and his average speed figure of 53 is competitive for this maiden turf field. He's a logical place play for bettors who want to stay safe, and in the exacta he makes a natural pairing with Apache One Six.

Braveness at 4/1 is an intriguing show play — trainer Jose Francisco D'Angelo has been one of the busiest and most effective on this card, and this horse carries a TrackWiz rating of 55. No average speed figure is available for Braveness, which may reflect a first-time turf start or a limited racing record, making him a bit of an unknown quantity but also a potential overlay if he takes to the turf naturally. In maiden company, first-time turfers from sharp barns routinely outperform expectations, and D'Angelo is exactly the kind of trainer to trust in that spot.
