Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sun 2.26.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 2/26/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 9 |
| Race overview: | A solid AOC routing on the turf for f/ms, with a lot of quality, none more so than #10 DIAMOND HANDS (7-2). |
| Pace: | There’s enough here, as #7 Regal Realm (8-1) should be going, and #10 DIAMOND HANDS (7-2) will be going (in some form) from the outside draw as well. |
| Trends: | Tactical speed—at the very least—is preferred on the turf, as horses just don’t come from too far back to win. |
| Best Play: | #10 DIAMOND HANDS (turf only): Speedy filly comes out of a graded stakes-quality allowance at BAQ, has tangled—and run well—with much better, and simply looks better than these. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet at 9-5 or better and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | GP Champ. Meet: 351-77-62-67 ($1.45/$4.9 ROI through 2/12)
GP Champ. Meet POD: 35-10-8-9 ($1.74/$5.94 through 2/12)
