Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Thur 12.1.22
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 12/1/2022 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 4 |
| Race overview: | A solid 16k MCL routing on the Tapeta, though it’s #3 LEOPARDI (9-5) that seems to hold all the aces. |
| Pace: | There’s not much on paper, so expect a bunched field early, which should turn into a sprint off the far turn. |
| Trends: | Tapeta routes consistently play to stalker/closers, with well over 70% of the races being won from off the pace, as speed rarely holds up front, no matter how slow they go. |
| Best Play: | #3 LEOPARDI (9-5): The horse to beat was a solid 2nd in his first Tapeta start last time and now goes off the claim for David, a 27% move for a barn that has been white hot at the Sunshine Meet. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive win bet, single in the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the Rainbow 6 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | FINAL CD Meet: 194-52-235-32 ($1.90/$5.56)
FINAL CD POD: 16-6-2-1 ($2.43/$5.88)
