Nadeau: Play of the Day GP 2.22.26
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | ||
| Date | 2/22/26 | |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park | |
| Race number | 10 | |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive MSW for fm4up at 1-mile on turf. | |
| Pace | It seems honest on paper, as there are a slew stretching out, several of which showed some semblance of speed sprinting. | |
| Trends | The turf isn’t the paved highway it was earlier in the meet, but it still plays to speed, so you need to be able to lay close early. | |
| Best Play | #4 ILLUMINATIRCE (9-2) (turf only): Returnee hasn’t been out in over 14 months and returns for Engler (she was with Motion), but she showed high promise at 2, meets a field there for the taking on paper, and has been visually impressive (online) in her AM drills. | |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and a leverage single/must-use to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. | |
