“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau

Date 3/1/26

Featured track Gulfstream Park

Race number 7

Race overview A modest OC/N1X for 3yo at 1 1/8 miles on the main track.

Pace It likely will be on the slow side, as this group will be tested at this elongated trip, which means they’ll want to take it east early.

Trends Speed is never a bad thing on the main track, especially at this trip, as races can get very spread out by the far turn.

Best Play #3 THUNDER CHUCK (9-5): Stakes-place runner caught Commandment (check how he does in the Fountain of Youth Saturday) when 3rd in the Mucho Macho Man, has speed to be close, adds Lasix, and catches a very meek crew as well.

Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
