Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sun 2.5.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 2/5/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 4 |
| Race overview: | A modest 12.5k MCL routing on the Tapeta with a favorite (#8 Black Ice 6-5) that you have to try and beat. |
| Pace: | It doesn’t look overly heated, so expect a bunched field. |
| Trends: | The Tapeta routes play to stalker/closers as speed just has not held well, no matter how slow they go early. |
| Best Play: | #8 REBATE (6-1): Returnee was on the turf at Tampa but the Tapeta route here three-back was solid and fast (for this group), she now runs on the surface with Lasix, and the favorite (#8) is impossible to trust off an odds-on beat. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | GP Champ. Meet: 201-42-34-38 ($1.42/$4.50 through 1/22)
GP Champ. Meet POD: 21-8-4-5 ($2.27/$6.42 through 1/22)
