Play of the Day
Race Date December 10, 2021
Track Gulfstream Park
Race 7
Overview A stakes-caliber AOC with a G1 winner (#5 Drain the Clock 8-5) and several others who have shown a high degree of talent.
Pace It looks borderline supersonic, as several, including the heavy favorite, want to roll early.
Trends The main track has tilted towards speeds, which is the norm, so you need to be tactical at the very least.
Best Bet NOCTURNAL
Number 1
Morning Line (5-2)
Best Bet Overview #1 NOCTURNAL (5-2): Pletcher returnee hasn’t been out since February but is long on talent and all three races have been here (3-2-1-0), and while this is a bit short, he’s trained forwardly and should relish all the heat up front, while meeting a favorite who looks vulnerable from the pace, and the fact he’s meeting elders for the first time as well.
Picks & Plays Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
