Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Thurs 3.16.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 3/16/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 2 |
| Race overview: | A very strong 20k claimer sprinting on the Tapeta, with several different ways you can go in a race the betting public might have trouble narrowing down. |
| Pace: | It looks hot and contested, as several want to be involved early and often, so being able to lay close but not too close seems ideal. |
| Trends: | You want to be close sprinting on the Tapeta, as horses just don’t make up significant ground, seemingly no matter how fast the speed goes early on. |
| Best Play: | #4 BIG AND CLASSY (4-1): Class riser looked good beating N2L foes last time and looks to be in a good spot here, as he’s got tactical speed to lay close, in a race where the favorites seem destined to hook up early and often through hot splits. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5, and to kick off the early Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | GP Champ. Meet: 548-126-104-93 ($1.63/$5.14 ROI through 3/11)
GP Champ. Meet POD: 54-14-12-11 ($1.58/$5.48 ROI through 3/11)
