Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Thurs 1.19.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 1/19/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 5 |
| Race overview: | A seemingly wide-open 10k claimer routing on the Tapeta, though there might be more than meets the eye under the surface. |
| Pace: | It looks on the moderate side, so tactical speed is a plus. |
| Trends: | Stalker/closers usually rule the day routing on the Tapeta, as early speed—no matter how slow they go—usually comes back. |
| Best Play: | #9 OFFICER COUNTRY (8-1): Class dropper was facing 20ks in his two Tapeta routes and ran big figures (for these), but the other big thing is the two who beat him on 10/14 (#4 and #2) have some huge questions this time around, while this dude gets Jose Ortiz. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WPS bet at 7-2 or better, while getting some additional value by singling to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | GP Champ. Meet: 153-33-27-26 ($1.49/$4.58 through 1/15)
GP Champ. Meet POD: 16-7-4-3 ($2.71/$7.56 through 1/15)
