Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sat 12.21.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 12/21/24 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 6 |
| Race overview | A seemingly modest MSW for 2yos at 1 1/16 miles on the turf. |
| Pace | Things figure to be on the slow side early, as there are no apparent burners (on paper), nor do any of the firsters look overly fast. |
| Trends | You want to have tactical speed, at the very least, on turf, as the course has played fast and firm and runners routinely zip to the front early and hold on late. |
| Best Play | #10 CIPHER (2-1): Pletcher colt was a solid 3rd on debut at BAQ for a barn that isn’t that sharp with turf firsters, so now, with that behind him, against a field there for the taking, he looks primed. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the horizontal exotics as well. |
