Buetane
Closer
“Buetane is a stone-cold professional. Nineteen starts, nine wins, and an average finish of 2.9 — you simply cannot keep this horse out of the money. He's the kind of runner that handicappers love and bettors trust. Steady as they come, but don't mistake consistency for a lack of explosiveness — his 18.6 top speed says otherwise.”
Fun Facts
- Has the longest stride length in the GPS database at 8.3 feet
- Won back-to-back races at Gulfstream in January and February 2026
- His 19-race sample size makes him one of the most GPS-profiled horses in the dataset
