PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  2/29/2024 
   
Featured track  Gulfstream Park 
   
Race number  5 
   
Race overview  A competitive 16k claimer for 3yos at 1 1/16 miles on Tapeta. 
   
Pace  There’s not much here, so expect a tight group, with a sprint to the finish off the far turn 
   
Trends  The Tapeta routes tend to be a bit more fair than the sprints, with stalker/closers having a fair chance (unless it rains, and then things can really tighten up). 
   
Best Play  #4 DESIGNATED HITTER (3-1): Recent MCL winner added blinkers and stretched out and looked like a new horse winning for fun, and while he now faces winners, there’s no one here to be scared of. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well.
