Nadeau: Keeneland Play of the Day Fri 10.11.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 10/11/24 |
| Featured track | Keeneland |
| Race number | 2 |
| Race overview | A seemingly modest but full field of 2yos in an RNA MSW at 1 1/16 miles on the main track. |
| Pace | Things could be honest up front, as there are several who are stretching out, and with a quick run to the first turn, more than a few might be motoring early on. |
| Trends | The main track played to speed and was FAST, as the fractions were ridiculously quick, yet horses kept going, so make sure to monitor things early in the week and proceed accordingly. |
| Best Play | #9 MAJOR DAX (5-2): Huge class dropper ran very well to be 4th against open maidens on debut at CD, is bred to love the extra ground/turn he gets here, and goes for a 20% second-out Hiles barn that likely had this spot in mind all along. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5, and to kick off the early Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Kee POD: 3-1-0-0 ($2.49/$4.75 through 10/6)
