“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau

Date 12/27/25

Featured track Gulfstream Park

Race number 5

Race overview A wildly deep and competitive 10k claimer for 3up at 1 1/16 miles on Tapeta.

Pace It looks like it should be honest, or potentially as, as there are more than a few who want to be involved early.

Trends Tapeta routes play much more fairly than the sprints, and even tilt to the stalker/closers who can make up ground in the lane.

Best Play #9 FRANK’S ART (4-1): Stiff dropper was 6th at big odds last time but faces much easier today, has a stalking/closing style that suits the race and track profile, and should offer value too.

Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and a must-use/potential leverage single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
