PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 1/3/26
Featured track Gulfstream Park
Race number 8
 
Race overview An extremely deep and competitive OC25k/N1X for 4up at 1 1/16 miles on the turf.
 
Pace It looks on the slow side, with just #9 a confirmed front runner, so at the very least, you better be able to stalk the pace early.
Trends The turf has been a paved highway all meet, and with the rails out at a whopping 73’ here, you have to be able to lay close early.
Best Play #5 GEORGE BRIGGS (4-1) (turf only): Brown charge has hinted at big promise but has had several starts and stops with little chance to get any momentum going, but now adds Lasix, has more upside than anyone, and looks poised to finally get going.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and a must-use/potential leverage single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
