Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Fri 11.8.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 11/8/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 3 |
| Race overview | A full field but watered down 20k MCL for 2yos at 6Fs. |
| Pace | There’s 12 entered, so while not all have shown they want the front, you have to think things will be honest and bunched early on. |
| Trends | The main track had a very fair feel to it last week, with winners coming from everywhere, and Sunday even seemed to tilt towards off-the-pace runners a bit. |
| Best Play | #8 TUSCALOOSA (3-1): MSW dropper was 5-1 in an 11-horse field on debut at Keeneland but did little running, but Brisset doesn’t do well with firsters, yet is a robust 28% with second-time maidens, so even though things didn’t work out last month, blinkers and the biggest drop in all of racing says things will today. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD: 4-0-3-0 (X/$5.39)
CD Meet: 41-10-5-8 ($1.96/$5.02 through 11/3)
