Nadeau: Gulfstream Play of the Day Sat 2.24.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 2/24/2024 |
| Featured track | Gulfstream Park |
| Race number | 4 |
| Race overview | A very strong MSW for 3yos going 1 1/8 miles on the main track. |
| Pace | Expect things to be tepid early, as the entire field-of-7 tries this distance for the first time, including a few who have no arly speed at all, which means the ability to lay close early will be big. |
| Trends | Dirt routes are rare in these parts, but you won’t see them won from the back, so you have to be close early. |
| Best Play | #4 BATTEN DOWN (9-5): Regally bred Juddmonte homebred is bred to be a superstar and showed a bit in is debut, when he chased wild splits against two bigtime prospects before tiring, but on the stretchout that will play today, and allow him first run. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | GP POD (through 2/18): 48-14-7-7 ($1.74/$4.73)
GP meet (through 2/18): 542-134-96-68 ($1.53/$4.62)
