Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Fri 12.23.22
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 12/23/2022 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 5 |
| Race overview: | A wide-open OC/SAL routing on the turf, with several who have winning credentials. |
| Pace: | There’s not a ton on paper, which could compromise the chances of the closers, while flattering those with early foot. |
| Trends: | The turf has played to early speed since its return, and several who have flown early have stuck late, so, at the very least, you better have tactical speed. |
| Best Play: | #2 Pegs A.K. Girl (5-1) (turf only): Class dropper has been freshened off a close 6th in a good 50k starter at BAQ, is well-drawn, and has Lopez, which means an aggressive ride is in the offing. |
| Bet Types: | WPS bet and a must-use/potential leverage single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | GP Sunshine Meet: 412-104-87-51 ($1.43/$4.70)
GP Sunshine Meet POD: 38-7-7-8 ($0.93/$3.76)
