Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Thurs 1.11.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 1/11/2024 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 2 |
| Race overview | A competitive Fl-bred AOC for 3up going 1 1/16 miles on the turf. |
| Pace | There’s not much here, which should allow #2 Treasure King (5-2) to make the front on the drop, and prove tough to catch. |
| Trends | Speed has been dominant on the turf, especially if it’s been firm, as horses struggle to make up significant ground. |
| Best Play | #2 TREASURE KING (5-2) (turf only): Class dropper exits a much tougher open AOC, where he was pressured on the lead but held well late, and now, at this reduced level, as a potential Lone F, he looks gone. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5, and to kick off the early Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | GP POD (through 1/7): 21-5-4-2 ($1.71/$4.41)
GP meet (through 1/7): 248-64-47-30 ($1.45/$4.60)
