Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Wed 1.8.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 1/8/25 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 6 |
| Race overview | A competitive bottom-level claimer for 4up at 6Fs on the main. |
| Pace | It looks honest enough, as more than a few have shown they want to mix it up early and often. |
| Trends | Speed typically plays sprinting on the main track, so tactical speed—at the very least—is preferred. |
| Best Play | #1 APOLLO CODE (8-5): Stalker was in way too tough last time in a salty 3yo stakes and now drops stiffly, and while that is a bit of a worry, Delgado is a trainer who is going to put them in where they can win, which alleviates some of the concern with a horse who lays over this group on class. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | GP Meet: 250-63-47-41 ($1.64/$5.03 ROI through 1/5)
GP POD: 24-6-4-3 ($1.20/$4.19 ROI through 1/5)
