PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  1/23/25 
   
Featured track  Gulfstream Park 
   
Race number  5 
   
Race overview  A relatively modest 17.5k N2L for 4upfm at 5 ½ Fs on Tapeta. 
   
Pace  It looks honest, though not necessarily oversubscribed, as true Tapeta sprint speed seems to be lacking. 
   
Trends  Speed plays sprinting on Tapeta, as races are routinely won on or just off the front end, oftentimes regardless of how fast they go.  
   
Best Play  #3 DENVER’S ALLEY (2-1): Pace player was facing tons better when last trying Tapeta two-back, and she more than held her own too, so on the drops, against an iffy field, with a speedy that that should have her on or just off the early lead, she looks too tough. 
    
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
