Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Fri 1.5.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 1/5/2024 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 8 |
| Race overview | An AOC for 4up sprinting 5 ½ Fs on the turf, in a race that looks destined to get the classy #8 Carotari (8-5) a long overdue win. |
| Pace | There’s not a ton for a turf sprint, so you better be close early. |
| Trends | Speed plays sprinting on the turf, especially when it’s firm, so stalker/closers are at a decided disadvantage. |
| Best Play | #8 CAROTARI (8-5) (turf only): Classy runner enters off a July freshening for a Lynch barn that has been live all meet, has Irad, is 8-4-2-1 over the local lawn, and lays over these on class too. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive win 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)
