PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  2/17/2024 
   
Featured track  Gulfstream Park 
   
Race number  5 
   
Race overview  A deep and competitive 50k claimer for 4up going 1-mile on turf. 
   
Pace  There’s not much here, which should allow #4 Read On (6-1) to get loose and establish command. 
   
Trends  Speed is always dangerous on a firm turf course, as it tends to carry horses up front, and make life difficult on the closers as well. 
   
Best Play  #4 READ ON (6-1) (turf only): Expected Lone F gets Paco, who you know will be aggressive in a race where the lead is there for the taking, while meeting a slew of favorites who have some flaws. 
   
Bet Types    WPS bet and a must-use/potential single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the middle Pk4 as well.
