Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sat 2.8.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 2/8/25 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 4 |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive MSW for 3yofs at 1-mile on the turf. |
| Pace | Things look on the tepid side early on, as there’s not much pure speed entered on paper, which suggests a bunched group that will sprint off the far turn. |
| Trends | Speed has been lethal on the turf, so at the very least, you need some tactical speed, as races are not being won from the back. |
| Best Play | #10 EXCITE (9-2) (turf only): Regally-bred filly broke slow from the parking lot on debut but was flying late, should benefit from that tightener and be closer early, and looks like a real runner, in a race where many of these don’t seem to have the same firepower. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | GP Meet: 398-97-75-59 ($1.74/$4.93 ROI through 1/26)
