PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date:  2/3/2023 
   
Featured Track/Race:   Gulfstream Park – Race 5 
   
Race overview:  A very competitive AOC for Florida breds routing on the turf. 
   
Pace:  There’s not much here to keep #4 JUDGE JUDITH (12-1) from making the lead and slowing things down, which can be potent over this course. 
   
Trends:  You want to be close on the turf, as speed has been carrying, but in this instance, it still looks like too much heat up front. 
   
Best Play:  #4 JUDGE JUDITH (12-1) (turf only): Potential Lone F had a tough start/trip at Saratoga two-back yet it wasn’t noted in the chart, and that was in an open-company 50k, so the drop in with state breds today is big, as would be an alert beginning. 
   
Bet Types:    WPS bet and leverage single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well. 
   
Meet/POD Stats:  GP Champ. Meet: 201-42-34-38 ($1.42/$4.50 through 1/22) 

GP Champ. Meet POD: 21-8-4-5 ($2.27/$6.42 through 1/22)
