Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Sun 9.22.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 9/22/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 3 |
| Race overview | A meek 20k MCL for 3up at 6 ½ furlongs. |
| Pace | It looks honest, as there are a few who want to move early, though it doesn’t appear to be too overly heated either. |
| 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 | #4 STARSCAPE (5-2): MSW runner takes the biggest drop in racing and ran well at Ellis when switched to Dutrow, so that, coupled with a relatively modest cast of opposition, says he should clean up here. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD Meet:
CD POD: 4-2-1-0 ($2.17/$7.44 through 9/15)
