Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Sun 11.19.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 11/19/2022 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 7 |
| Race overview | A modest MSW for 2yos going 6Fs on the main track. |
| Pace | It’s a field of 10 lightly-raced runners, with a slew of firsters too, so things should be fast and competitive early on. |
| Trends | The main track played very fair last week, with winners coming from everywhere, and there were no apparent path biases either. |
| Best Play | #5 MIYAGI (3-1): Catalano charge was 5-2 on debut in a big field at Keeneland and had a “they’re off, you lose” kind of trip, when he broke exceptionally slow and then rushed up, so with a better break today, he not only should be closer, but he should run to the hype too—against a group that doesn’t look all that tough on paper. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD: 7-2-1-2 ($1.73/$5.03 through 11/12)
CD meet: 88-236-16-12 ($1.97/$5.65 through 11/12)
