Nadeau: Keeneland Play of the Day Fri 10.18.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 10/18/24 |
| Featured track | Keeneland |
| Race number | 3 |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive 30k N2L for 3up at 7Fs on the main track. |
| Pace | It doesn’t look too oversubscribed up front, which suggests being able to lay close early will be ideal. |
| Trends | The main track continues to play fair, with winners coming from everywhere, and last week it even seemed to tilt towards off-the-pace runners a little bit. |
| Best Play | #1 ALILNALOT (9-2): Stalker has been running in some better-than-average races for the level and now goes off-the-claim for Cano (14%), which is a huge upgrade from a barn that is 1-for-60 on the year, and his running style should allow him to trip out and get first run just off the speed. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Kee POD: 8-3-1-0 ($2.33/$5.59 through 10/13)
