Nadeau: Keeneland Play of the Day Sun 10.20.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 10/20/24 |
| Featured track | Keeneland |
| Race number | 5 |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive 40k Nl2 for 3up at 1 1/16 miles at the short stretch finish line on the main track. |
| Pace | There’s not much here, and with the short stretch, you need to be close early, as making up ground late isn’t easy. |
| 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 | #5 ANDY CANT (6-1): Tactical sort ran well at Sar and now stretches out, is bred for this, has the speed to be on just off the early pace, and has run well in both local starts on the main too. |
| Bet Types | WP bet and a must-use/potential leverage single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Kee POD: 8-3-1-0 ($2.33/$5.59 through 10/13)
