Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sun 1.26.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 1/26/25 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 9 |
| Race overview | A strong AOC for 4up at 6 ½ Fs that could easily pass as a stakes. |
| Pace | There’s seemingly not much here other than #4 SWIRVIN (7-2), which gives him a big tactical edge. |
| Trends | Speed plays sprinting on the main, as it’s tough to make up significant ground off the far turn. |
| Best Play | #4 SWIRVIN (7-2): Speedster is back home at GP, where he’s 3-for-7 (and 1-for-4 elsewhere), should be able to control things early, and catches graded stakes winner #7 Bold Journey (9-5) off a March layoff in a spot where he’s likely prepping for bigger. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and a must-use/potential leverage single in the mandatory payout Rainbow 6, late Pk5, and late Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | GP Meet: 298-75-58-46 ($1.75/$5.19 ROI through 1/12)
GP POD: 29-6-6-3 ($1.19/$4.09 ROI through 1/12)
