PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  1/9/25 
   
Featured track  Gulfstream Park 
   
Race number  7 
   
Race overview  A very competitive MSW for fm4up going 1 3/8 miles on the turf. 
   
Pace  There’s seemingly none here other than #1 Mizoula (5-2), who should be able to set up shop easily on the lead, over a group filled with several who have no early zip at all. 
   
Trends  The turf has been a paved highway, with horses routinely wiring on the front end—regardless of how fast they go early. 
   
Best Play  #1 MIZOULA (5-2): Expected Lone F has a huge flow advantage, regardless of whether or not she clears on the lead, as she meets several without a sniff of early foot, and with an ace finishing rider in Rosario up, she looks primed for a breakthrough. 
    
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
