Nadeau: Keeneland Play of the Day Sat 10.28.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 10/28/2022 |
| Featured track | Keeneland |
| Race number | 4 |
| Race overview | A seemingly modest MSW for 3up f/ms going 6Fs on the main, with a field that looks littered with horses with little to no upside. |
| Pace | Things should be honest up front, as it’s a full field with several who have shown some initiative in the past. |
| Trends | The main track tilted a bit towards off-the-pace runners over the weekend, but has, for the most part, played fair during the meet. |
| Best Play | #4 FOXFIRE (7-2): Lightly-raced miss was a strong 2nd on debut for DeVaux, who never cranks them anymore but is 25% with 2nd-time maidens, so the upside here is tremendous, in a field where the majority of the proven runners have run out of it. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Kee POD: 13-2-6-1 ($0.67/$4.80 through 10/22)
Kee meet: 124-36-19-10 ($2.42/$5.92 through 10/22)
