PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  1/1/2024 
   
Featured track  Gulfstream Park 
   
Race number  5 
   
Race overview  A slid AOC for 4uo going 1 ½ miles on the turf. 
   
Pace  There’s not much here, so expect a bunched group and a sprint off the far turn, especially going this elongated distance. 
   
Trends  Speed on the turf has been tough to reel in, and even though there’s been plenty of rain recently, things should be on the firmer side by Saturday afternoon. 
   
Best Play  #4 Ocala Dream (5-2) (turf only): Class dropper has been facing much better on the turf, goes for a Maker barn that excels in these turn marathons, and meets no one with his firepower. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
