PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  3/20/25 
   
Featured track  Gulfstream Park 
   
Race number  1 
   
Race overview  A deep and competitive 12.5k claimer for 4up at 1M on the main. 
   
Pace  On paper there’s not much here, so expect a tight group that will turn into a sprint off the far turn, which means being able to lay close seems imperative. 
   
Trends  These one-turn mile races tend to play towards those that lay close early, as it’s difficult to make up significant ground once you get to the far turn. 
   
Best Play  #4 SELF TAUGHT (2-1): Stalker was a solid 3rd off a 13-month layoff, an effort that puts him right there with these, so with expected improvement with that behind him, the rest are in trouble. 
    
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single to kick off the early Pk5 as well.
