Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Wed 12.7.22
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 12/7/2022 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Gulfstream Park – Race 3 |
| Race overview: | A wide open MCL route on the Tapeta, with several ways to go. |
| Pace: | Expect a compact group, as there’s little confirmed speed, but several who want to be close early. |
| Trends: | The Tapeta routes have been playing to stalker/closers for months, as horses on or near the lead rarely last—regardless of how fast or slow they go. |
| Best Play: | #5 MATEO (4-1): Lightly raced runner has an experience edge routing and had a nightmare trip last time, though he still ran on late to his credit, and note Sano reaches for Zayas today. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | FINAL CD Meet: 194-52-235-32 ($1.90/$5.56)
FINAL CD POD: 16-6-2-1 ($2.43/$5.88)
