Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Sun 11.3.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 11/3/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 3 |
| Race overview | A very modest 16k N2L for fm3up at 7 furlongs on the main track. |
| Pace | It looks honest enough, as there’s speed from the inside (#3) and from the outside as well (#9). |
| Trends | The main track has alternated between fast and sloppy early on during the meet, which makes it hard to gauge if there are any preferred running styles or paths. |
| Best Play | #5 MOON FLEET (3-1): In-form runner (which is more than most can say) goes off-the-claim for Garcia (14%) and gets a weight break with a 7-pound apprentice up, and that 2nd here in September would likely be enough to handle this group, and that’s before the expected improvement today. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD: 1-0-0-0
CD Meet: 11-3-1-2 ($2.41/$5.19 through 10/27)
