Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Fri 1.6.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 1/6/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 8 |
| Race overview: | A solid race for the Florida-bred AOC level, as there is some talent here, none more so than #4 FROSTED OATS (3-1), who may be poised for a strong 2023. |
| Pace: | There’s very little here, which suggests the fresh speed of #4 FROSTED OATS (3-1) will be on display, and figures to have her setting up shop on a loose lead. |
| Trends: | You want to be close on the turf, as horses just aren’t coming from too far out of it, especially at this shorter 7 ½-furlong trip. |
| Best Play: | #4 FROSTED OATS (3-1): Returnee finally broke through when last seen in June (when Lasix was added) and now runs for the first time against state breds for Mott, who is 21% off this elongated break, and she seems to have a decided race flow edge with her speed. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | GP Champ. Meet: 57-12-13-8 ($1.26/$4.42 through 1/1)
GP Champ. Meet POD: 6-2-2-1 ($1.97/$6.93 through 1/1)
