Nadeau: Churchill Downs Play of the Day Sun 9.15.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 9/15/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 4 |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive 12.5k claimer for 3up at 6Fs. |
| Pace | It looks honest, as there is some zip from the inside, but at this trip, you need to be close. |
| Trends | N/A |
| Best Play | #2 UPSTRIKER (7-2): Versatile sort goes off-the-claim for Vanden Berg (14%), can be placed anywhere, takes a modest rise off an Ellis win for 10k, and has two local scares, so this looks like a shrewd new acquisition. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4, and middle Pk4 as well. |
