Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Fri 2.23.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 2/23/2024 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 7 |
| Race overview | A modest Florida-bred N1X for 3yos going 7Fs on the main. |
| Pace | It should be honest enough, as more than a few want to be involved here, and at 7Fs, it’s no guarantee anyone sticks around. |
| Trends | Tactical speed, at the very least, is needed sprinting on the main, as races rarely fall apart, though, as hinted at above, things can even out a bit more at 7Fs. |
| Best Play | #5 ROAR READY (8-5): Talented sort looked like a short horse off a brief freshening last time, while tackling winners, at ^fs, which figures shorter than his best, but he ran on late after lagging too far back early, and today he should inhale this group off the far turn. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive win bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | GP POD (through 2/18): 48-14-7-7 ($1.74/$4.73)
GP meet (through 2/18): 542-134-96-68 ($1.53/$4.62)
