Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Wed 12.14.22
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 12/14/2022 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 3 |
| Race overview: | A modest bottom-level claimer with a false favorite (#1 Ensign Parker 2-1) down inside, and a class-dropping (dirt) newcomer who looks poised to wake up in #7 OLD TOWN ROAD (9-2). |
| Pace: | There’s plenty here to keep #1 Ensign Parker (2-1) occupied early, which should flatter the chances of #7 OLD TOWN ROAD (9-2) late. |
| Trends: | You need to be close sprinting on the main track, as coming from too far out if isn’t a recipe for success. |
| Best Play: | #7 OLD TOWN ROAD (9-2): Tapeta runner is actually 2-3 on a fast main track while facing eons better the last time he ran on dirt, and note Sanchez has picked it up again (and had a huge winter here last year), and gets his main Berrios back as well (23% together). |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 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)
