Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Thurs 2.16.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 2/16/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 5 |
| Race overview: | A strong MSW routing on turf for 3yo fillies with several top barns that have runners eligible to make a dent, though it’s the invader #4 GALILEO’S JEWEL (4-1) who looks primed. |
| Pace: | It should be honest, as a few have show speed and a few more stretch out and will see a first turn for the first time. |
| Trends: | Tactical speed—at the very least—is preferred on the turf, as horses just don’t come from too far back to win. |
| Best Play: | #4 GALILEO’S JEWEL (4-1) (turf only): Impeccably-bred filly was 5-2 on debut in a 12-horse MSW at Aqu and ran well to be 3rd, should be closer on the stretchout, and it’s significant Dutrow ships her here for a big purse after she’s been training at Tampa. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single to end early Pk5/Pk4, and kick off the late Pk5 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | GP Champ. Meet: 301-62-52-57 ($1.48/$4.78 ROI through 2/5)
GP Champ. Meet POD: 30-9-7-7 ($1.83/$5.96 through 2/5)
