Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sat 1.11.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 1/11/25 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 4 |
| Race overview | A solid MSW for newly turned 3yos at 6Fs on the main track. |
| Pace | There’s 11 entered, with several firsters who have worked fast, and some proven runners who have shown speed too, so expect things to be hot up front. |
| Trends | Speed plays sprinting on main, as races routinely fall apart in the lane, so, at the very least, you better be able to lay close early. |
| Best Play | #6 VANDERBILT (2-1): Cox firster debuts for a barn that has been live with every runner at the meet, cost $1.1 million, is by a G1 winner (Into Mischief) and out of a G1 winner (American Gal), and has worked big for this, much like his other sharp 3yos making their first career start. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | GP Meet: 250-63-47-41 ($1.64/$5.03 ROI through 1/5)
GP POD: 24-6-4-3 ($1.20/$4.19 ROI through 1/5)
