Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sun 1.21.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 1/21/2024 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 8 |
| Race overview | A competitive renewal of the Sunshine Turf for Florida breds, 4up, at 1 1/16 miles on turf. |
| Pace | The defending champion #5 Roaring Forties (6-1) will be in front, with #4 BOPPY O (7-2) likely stalking from close range. |
| Trends | Speed can dominate on the turf, especially if it’s firm, as horses can get carried home by a course that routinely plays to front runners. |
| Best Play | #4 BOPPY O (7-2) (turf only): Newly turned 4yo certainly needed his comeback off a long break last time, and he ran well to be 3rd while being too close early to a pace that fell apart, so with that behind him, expect a big move forward. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP and single in the late Pk5/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)
