Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sat 2.17.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 2/17/2024 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 5 |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive 50k claimer for 4up going 1-mile on turf. |
| Pace | There’s not much here, which should allow #4 Read On (6-1) to get loose and establish command. |
| Trends | Speed is always dangerous on a firm turf course, as it tends to carry horses up front, and make life difficult on the closers as well. |
| Best Play | #4 READ ON (6-1) (turf only): Expected Lone F gets Paco, who you know will be aggressive in a race where the lead is there for the taking, while meeting a slew of favorites who have some flaws. |
| Bet Types | WPS bet and a must-use/potential single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the middle Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | GP POD (through 2/4): 39-12-6-6 ($1.90/$4.87)
GP meet (through 2/4): 444-113-77-53 ($1.44/$4.56)
