Nadeau: Churchill Downs Play of the Day Fri 9.20.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 9/20/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 5 |
| Race overview | A very modest 16k N2L for 3upfm at 7Fs. |
| Pace | It looks hot and contested, as more than a few want to tangle early and often, which suggests a rating gear will come in mighty handy. |
| Trends | It’s all dirt all the time at the meet, and the main track was very fair last week, and even seemed to tilt a bit towards off-the-pace types. |
| Best Play | #6 MISS MAXIMUS (5-2): Saratoga 7F MCL winner steps up but faces the right kind of group off that lifetime best, and the fact she can settle and kick on gives her a big edge right back. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and in the middle Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD Meet:
CD POD: 4-2-1-0 ($2.17/$7.44 through 9/15)
