Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Thurs 12.22.22
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 12/22/2022 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 7 |
| Race overview: | A strong AOC sprinting 7Fs on the main that marks the return of multiple graded stakes winner #2 Dr Post (7-5), but off a 13-month layoff, the time is right to beat him with the equally classy, and in-form #1 ENDORSED (2-1), who has a big recency edge as well. |
| Pace: | There’s plenty of speed to the outside, so things should be cooking up front. |
| Trends: | You need to be close on the main track, as it’s hard to make up significant ground, especially sprinting. |
| Best Play: | #1 ENDORSED (2-1): Classy sort doesn’t have the resume of Dr Post but catches him at the right time, as he was just a strong 2nd last, will get first run, and won’t (likely) be favored either. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive win bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | GP Sunshine Meet: 412-104-87-51 ($1.43/$4.70)
GP Sunshine Meet POD: 38-7-7-8 ($0.93/$3.76)
