PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  3/9/2024 
   
Featured track  Gulfstream Park 
   
Race number  11 
   
Race overview  A wide-open MSW for 3yos going 1-mile on turf. 
   
Pace  Things should be aggressive early on between #4 Devil’s Playground (6-1) and #5 Test Factor (6-1), which means a tactical gear will come in handy. 
   
Trends  The turf tends to be speed, but there’s been plenty of rain of late, which means things could even out a bit, but regardless, grass races are rarely won from the back. 
   
Best Play  #8 BLACK DIAMOND (5-1) (turf only): Recent dispersal sales purchase is now with turf ace Maker, and he enters off a rough trip in his 3yo bow and return off a layoff, so for this new barn, with that run behind him, you better look out. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WPS bet and single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. 
   
Play of the Day Winners  GP POD (through 3/3): 58-15-10-10 ($1.63/$4.76)
