Nadeau: Keeneland Play of the Day Wed 4.26.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 4/26/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Keeneland – Race 8 |
| Race overview: | A weak N2X routing 1 ½ miles on the turf for fillies and mares, with the obvious exception of #7 BROADWAY BOOGIE (9-5), who is using this as a pit stop to another graded stakes try. |
| Pace: | It looks on the slow side, as there’s not here, so expect a tight pack that will turn into a sprint off the far turn. |
| Trends: | They don’t run enough turf races to confidently think there’s a trend, though the majority of the races have tilted towards stalkers. |
| Best Play: | #7 BROADWAY BOOGIE (9-5) (turf only): Lightly raced miss was thrown to the wolves a bit in the GP G3 but more than held her own, confirming that she has a world of talent, and on this steep drop—especially against this group—she looks imposing. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive win bet at 7-5 or better, while getting some built-in value by singling to end the horizontal exotics. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | Kee Meet: 114-29-26-11 ($1.73/$5.60 ROI through 4/23)
Kee POD: 11-2-1-3 ($1.15/$3.49 ROI through 4/23)
