Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sat 12.31.22
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 12/31/2022 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 4 |
| Race overview: | A relatively meek 35k claimer on the turf, with little proven form, save #3 CLASSIC LADY (5-2), who lays over these based on her recent efforts. |
| Pace: | There’s not a ton here, so tactical speed, at the very least, should be viewed at a premium. |
| Trends: | The turf has not been kind to closers, and horses with early speed have held very well. |
| Best Play: | #3 CLASSIC LADY (5-2) (turf only): Stalker has by far the best recent form and many of her main rivals drew poorly in the outside three slots, plus she again gets to run with Lasix. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | GP Championship Meet (through 12/26): 10-1-4-0
GP Championship Meet POD (through 12/26): 1-0-1-0
