Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Thurs 12.14.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 12/14/2023 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 9 |
| Race overview | A very competitive 25k MCL sprinting 5Fs on Tapeta. |
| Pace | It looks a bit on the tempered side, especially for a Tapeta sprint, as there’s not a ton of true gate speed entered, which means a tight group to the far turn seems likely. |
| Trends | You better have tactical speed at the very least in Tapeta sprints, as horses just won’t come from too far off the pace. |
| Best Play | #3 BE LUCKY (5-2): MSW dropper ran very well on debut and now adds blinkers for a bit more early focus, and this is a homebred for owner/trainer Sierra as well, which helps alleviate any concerns on the drop, as sire Beau Choix only stands for 2.5k. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | GP POD: 7-2-2-1 ($2.71/$6.61)
GP meet: 73-18-15-10 ($1.49/$4.75)
