Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sat 12.2.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 12/2/2023 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 9 |
| Race overview | The Sabal Palms, a 100k handicap for 3up at 1 1/16 miles on the Tapeta. |
| Pace | There’s none here to keep #2 VOLCANIC (9-2) from making a loose and lonely lead and controlling things on the front end. |
| Trends | The Tapeta routes are tilted towards stalker/closers, and generally being down inside is not the spot to be, though a good horse (like Volcanic) can certainly wire them. |
| Best Play | #2 VOLCANIC (9-2): Lone F looks as loose and can be here, just wired while flying on the lead, and is 4-for-5 over the GP Tapeta, not to mention he has a huge tactical edge over his two main rivals (#9 and #6)/ |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
