Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Tues 12.26.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 12/26/2023 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 5 |
| Race overview | A solid AC for f/ms going 1 1/16 miles on the turf. |
| Pace | It looks like it could be honest, as there are more than a few who want to be close early, though don’t expect it to get too heated. |
| Trends | Speed has done very well on the turf, so at the very least, a tactical gear is preferred, as horses just aren’t going to come from too far back, unless there’s a real meltdown. |
| Best Play | #7 CIGAMIA (8-5) (turf only): Class dropper was 4-1 in an Au stakes in her U.S. debut and first start for Motion, so they think quite highly of her, and that close 6th was solid enough, and now she gets Lasix for a confidence boost before likely heading back into stakes company. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive win bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the Rainbow 6 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | GP POD: 8-3-2-1 ($2.95/$7.04)
GP meet: 110-32-22-14 ($1.54/$4.88)
