Late money on Fast Fixer right on the mark

As the field was approaching the starting gate in the sixth race at Gulfstream Park on Friday, Fast Fixer was sitting at a co-favored 8/5 on the tote board. As they entered the gate, the 3-year-old gelding by Bucchero dropped to 6/5. When the gate was sprung, Fast Fixer was off second, away from the rail, and the tote board now read ‘2/5.’

In his previous start, Fast Fixer had broken his maiden racing 5 1/2 furlongs over the Tapeta surface. He made it two in a row over the all-weather track in this one under Hector Diaz Jr., and earned a check for $12,200. He was clocked in :57.57, paid $2.80, and was claimed out of the race.

Unraced at two, the gelding bred by Good Beginnings Farm is now 2-1-1 in 11 starts with a bank account of $33,800.
