new
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 12/8/2022 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 1 |
| Race overview: | A wide open 5F MCL sprint on the turf, with several ways to go and little grass form to fall back on. |
| Pace: | There should be plenty here, as they love to motor in these turf sprints, and rarely does the speed fall apart. |
| Trends: | As hinted at, turf sprints are dominated by speed, especially going this short, so you better have the ability to be close early. |
| Best Play: | #8 CERTAIN (15-1) (turf or Tapeta): Kee MSW dropper chased and tired in the best 2yo MSW in the country behind a Baffert freak and a next-out winner, lures Paco (a local win last year for the barn), drew perfectly, and doesn’t meet much. |
| Bet Types: | WPS bet at 9-2 or better (he won’t be anywhere near this ML), and a must-use/leverage single to kick off the early Pk5. |
| 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)
