Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Thurs 2.29.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 2/29/2024 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 5 |
| Race overview | A competitive 16k claimer for 3yos at 1 1/16 miles on Tapeta. |
| Pace | There’s not much here, so expect a tight group, with a sprint to the finish off the far turn |
| Trends | The Tapeta routes tend to be a bit more fair than the sprints, with stalker/closers having a fair chance (unless it rains, and then things can really tighten up). |
| Best Play | #4 DESIGNATED HITTER (3-1): Recent MCL winner added blinkers and stretched out and looked like a new horse winning for fun, and while he now faces winners, there’s no one here to be scared of. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | GP POD (through 2/18): 48-14-7-7 ($1.74/$4.73)
GP meet (through 2/18): 542-134-96-68 ($1.53/$4.62)
