Play of the Day – January 26th 2022
| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | January 26, 2022 |
| Track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race | 4 |
| Overview | A tough 35k on the Tapeta with several winning possibilities, and a potential vulnerable favorite in #5 Chacalosa (5-2). |
| Pace | There doesn’t appear to be a ton of pace on paper, so tactical speed might be a valuable asset. |
| Trends | The Tapeta has slanted towards outside stalker/closers, though it has been a little speedier sprinting, and the rail has been especially dead over the past few racing days and anyone down inside should be upgraded for their next starts. |
| Best Bet | PRINCESS CUPID |
| Number | 2 |
| Morning Line | (6-1) |
| Best Bet Overview | #2 PRINCESS CUPID (6-1): Lightly raced runner goes off the Maragh claim after a strong 3rd while facing winners, and while the stats don’t indicate it, this was once a very sharp barn off the claim, and that last race was as fast—or faster—than anything anyone has done in here. |
| Picks & Plays | Aggressive WP bet and a must-use/potential bold leverage single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Stats | GP Meet (POD): 38-13-8-2 ($1.93/$5.47 ROI through 1/23) GP Meet (overall): 370-84-67-53 ($1.44/$4.50 ROI through 1/23) |
