Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Thurs 12.15.22
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 12/15/2022 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 5 |
| Race overview: | A modest 8k N2L routing on the Tapeta, with very few who have shown winning credentials. |
| Pace: | Expect a tight pack, as there’s not a ton of true front-running speed entered, which means a stalking gear will come in handy. |
| Trends: | The Tapeta routes have trended towards stalker/closers, as speed has struggled holding—no matter how slow they go up front early. |
| Best Play: | #6 S. Silo (7-2): In-form runner, which is more than most here can say, gets leading jockey Vasquez, so you know it’s go-time today, and he won’t have to improve much off that close 3rd last time. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | GP Sunshine Meet: 365-95-74-44 ($1.49/$4.80)
GP Sunshine Meet POD: 33-5-6-8 ($0.75/$3.52)
