PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 2/1/26
Featured track Gulfstream Park
Race number 9
 
Race overview A relatively meek 17.5k N2L for 4up at 1m on turf.
 
Pace It looks honest on paper, as there are more than a few who want to be close and potentially involved early.
Trends The turf is always going to tilt towards speed, though it has tempered a bit this week, with more runners coming from off-the-pace than has been the norm at the meet.
Best Play #2 OPERATION TORCH (9-5) (turf only): Stiff class dropper has faced tons better in his last two and should relish the relief he gets today, drew well, and has the tactical speed to lay close throughout.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
