Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sat 1.6.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 1/6/2024 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 11 |
| Race overview | A very solid renewal of the Dania Beach for 3yos at 1m on the turf. |
| Pace | There’s not a ton here, which means #6 AIR RECRUIT (3-1) can either get loose, or set up shop outside the inside speed, which gives him a big tactical edge on the favorite, #10 Agate Road (2-1), who is drawn terribly and has no early speed either. |
| Trends | Speed has done well on the turf, especially when it’s firm, as front runners can get carried by the slick course, making it tough to make up significant ground. |
| Best Play | #6 AIR RECRUIT (3-1) (turf only): Versatile sort ran better than it looked when a close 7th in the G1 BCJT, and ¾ lengths behind Agate Road, and his speed and that one’s post can turn the tables. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | GP POD (through 1/1): 18-4-2-2 ($1.61/$3.87)
GP meet (through 1/1): 209-56-36-25 ($1.47/$4.58)
