PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  1/8/25 
   
Featured track  Gulfstream Park 
   
Race number  6 
   
Race overview  A competitive bottom-level claimer for 4up at 6Fs on the main. 
   
Pace  It looks honest enough, as more than a few have shown they want to mix it up early and often. 
   
Trends  Speed typically plays sprinting on the main track, so tactical speed—at the very least—is preferred.  
   
Best Play  #1 APOLLO CODE (8-5): Stalker was in way too tough last time in a salty 3yo stakes and now drops stiffly, and while that is a bit of a worry, Delgado is a trainer who is going to put them in where they can win, which alleviates some of the concern with a horse who lays over this group on class. 
    
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well.
