Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Wed 1.1.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 1/1/25 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 5 |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive 35k MCL’er for 3yos at 5 ½ Fs on Tapeta. |
| Pace | It looks honest enough, as more than a few who have shown early speed, and at this trip, you have to think others will want to as well. |
| Trends | Speed plays sprinting on Tapeta, as races rarely fall apart in the lane, so tactical speed should be viewed a as a premium. |
| Best Play | #2 AYMAN (5-2): Dirt-to-Tapeta runner cuts back a furlong as well, starts for a hot Orseno barn, and is by Bucchero, who is by far the best Tapeta sire out there. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
