PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  10/31/24 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs   
   
Race number  4 
   
Race overview  A n average looking 30k N2L for fm3up at 6Fs on the main track. 
   
Pace  it seems honest enough, as both #2 Fancy Fascinator and #4 Trotter want to be involved early. 
   
Trends  It’s just one card and nine races, but Opening Day (Sunday) played a bit off-the-pace, as speed struggled to hold, which is worth monitoring as the meet moves on. 
   
Best Play  #7 GOURMET (5-2): Class dropper was a good 3rd on the return to the main track off the Jordan claim last time, should like this group a bit better, and should also sit a dream first-run trip off the two aforementioned speeds.  
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the middle Pk4 as well.
