“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau

Date 3/20/26

Featured track Gulfstream Park

Race number 9

Race overview A competitive OC/SAL for 3yos at 5 ½ Fs on Tapeta.

Pace There’s actually not much here—for a Tapeta sprint—so at the very least, you better be able to lay close early.

Trends Speed can be lethal sprinting on Tapeta, so at the very least, you need to be close, as races are rarely won from the back.

Best Play #7 COPERNIUM (8-5): Pace player came back off a six-month layoff, tried Tapeta, and won for fun, now goes off-the-claim for David, a wild 31% angle, drew perfectly, and figures to only improve off that very sharp comeback.

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