PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  11/15/24 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs   
   
Race number  6 
   
Race overview  A seemingly modest MSW for 2yofs at 5 furlongs. 
   
Pace  There are a slew of firsters who have worked very fast, in addition to some experienced runners who have shown speed too, so the pace, especially at this trip, looks extremely hot and contested. 
   
Trends  The main track continues to play fair, with winners coming from everywhere, including all running paths as well. 
   
Best Play  #7 DESERT ADVENTURE (9-2): Godolphin homebred has a huge pedigree, as she by a G1 winners and is out of a G1-wininng dam, has worked huge for this (albeit on Tapeta), and meets a crew that is there for the taking (on paper), for a Harty barn that is a strong 17% with firsters, and with Gaffalione named, there seems to be some serious intent here as well. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
