Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Thurs 2.2.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 2/2/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 9 |
| Race overview: | A deep and competitive 20k claimer sprinting on the Tapeta. |
| Pace: | It should be honest, though it doesn’t look overly heated, so you want a runner with tactical speed, at the very least. |
| Trends: | You need to be close sprinting on the Tapeta, as races rarely come back—no matter how fast they go up front. |
| Best Play: | #8 THE PREDICAMENT (5-2): Pace presser drew perfectly for his style and enters off a rough trip late, so with clear sailing he figures too tough for this group. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | GP Champ. Meet: 153-33-27-26 ($1.49/$4.58 through 1/15)
GP Champ. Meet POD: 16-7-4-3 ($2.71/$7.56 through 1/15)
