Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sat 1.4.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 1/4/25 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 10 |
| Race overview | A tremendous renewal of the Mucho Macho Man for 3yos at 1-mile. |
| Pace | There’s a ton on paper, as more than few want to roll fast early, which suggests things will be hot up front, and turn into a battle of attrition off the far turn. |
| Trends | The one-turn mile races are a bit tricky, as the fields can be gapped out, which makes it tough to make up significant ground unless you’re in position entering the far turn. |
| Best Play | #5 COOL INTENTIONS (9-2): Two-time winner looked awesome settling and kicking on strongly off the far turn last time, and while the waters are deeper here, he has a homecourt edge, the right running to take advantage of the expected hot pace, and the gut says he’s only getting started too. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
