Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Fri 2.24.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 2/24/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 4 |
| Race overview: | A competitive 25k starter-allowance routing on the turf, with several different ways to go, though more than a few enter off suspect form, which is not the case with #7 DONTMESSWITHTESS (3-1). |
| Pace: | There’s enough here to keep things honest up front, and not let anyone get away with setting soft splits. |
| Trends: | Tactical speed—at the very least—is preferred on the turf, as horses just don’t come from too far back to win. |
| Best Play: | #7 DONTMESSWITHTESS (3-1) (turf only): Maker claim (22%) wheels back on the rise after looking good winning for 20k last time, isn’t entered for a tag, and should be close throughout. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | GP Champ. Meet: 301-62-52-57 ($1.48/$4.78 ROI through 2/5)
GP Champ. Meet POD: 30-9-7-7 ($1.83/$5.96 through 2/5)
