Nadeau: Churchill Downs Play of the Day Thurs 9.19.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 9/19/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 6 |
| Race overview | A strong N1X for 3up at 1 1/16 miles. |
| Pace | It looks honest enough, as there a few who want to be involved early, including the two ML favorites (#10 and #12), who drew poorly and will need to hustle into the first turn. |
| Trends | It’s all dirt all the time at the meet, and the main track was very fair last week, and even seemed to tilt a bit towards off-the-pace types. |
| Best Play | #1 BRUNACINI (6-1): Awesome Ellis debut winner did it in fast time as well, is bred to love the added ground, drew perfectly, and may be catching the two favorites at the right time, and under the right set of race flow circumstances too. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WPS bet and a must-use/potential leverage single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
