Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sun 1.5.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 1/5/25 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 4 |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive OC/SAL for 3yos at 5 ½ Fs on Tapeta. |
| Pace | It looks hot and contested, which suggests a hint of rating gear will come in handy. |
| Trends | Tapeta sprints play to speed, so at the very least, you need to be close early, as things rarely fall apart in the lane. |
| Best Play | #5 Venezuelan Is Gold (2-1): Two-time winner looked awesome settling and kicking on strongly off the far turn last time, and while the waters are deeper here, he has a homecourt edge, the right running to take advantage of the expected hot pace, and the gut says he’s only getting started too. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
