Nadeau: Ky Downs Play of the Day Thurs 9.7.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 9/7/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Kentucky Downs – Race 7 |
| Race overview: | A seemingly iffy MSW for f/m’s going a marathon 1 5/16ths miles. |
| Pace: | Expect a crawl early and a sprint late, as this looks like a trip that will stretch a lot of rubber bands mighty thin. |
| Trends: | N/A |
| Best Play: | #4 Lady Claypoole (3-1): Irish-bred ran well in her U.S. debut and first for Maker at Colonial when 3rd, now gets Lasix and blinkers, is bred to love the trip, and goes second-off the break for a barn that always points to this meet—which means this was the spot they had in mind all along. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in in the middle Pk4, late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well. |
| POD/Meet Stats: | Sar Meet Overall (through 8/27): 344-83-71-56 ($1.71/$5.17)
Sar POD (through 8/27): 28-5-6-4 ($1.78/$4.86) |
