Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sat 1.20.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 1/20/2024 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 8 |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive Florida-bred AOC for 3&up going 5 ½ Fs on Tapeta. |
| Pace | It will be extremely fast—and potentially contested—as #7 Cruzin Man (7-5) always flies early, and faces a few who want to press/chase him. |
| Trends | You want to be close sprinting on Tapeta, as horses rarely come from too far back over a surface that caters to on-the-pace types. |
| Best Play | #4 BELLA FUTURE (4-1): Tactical sort had plenty of trouble last time yet was beaten just a length, has the ability to lay close early, and needs only clear sailing to pull the mild surprise. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP and single in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | GP POD (through 1/7): 21-5-4-2 ($1.71/$4.41)
GP meet (through 1/7): 248-64-47-30 ($1.45/$4.60)
