PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  11/23/24 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs   
   
Race number  4 
   
Race overview  A watered down 50k MCL for 3up at 6 furlongs. 
   
Pace  It’s a full field with more than a few who want to be close early, so things look honest and potentially heated up front. 
   
Trends  The main track continues to play fair, with winners coming from everywhere, including all running paths as well. 
   
Best Play  #3 LEVEE WAS DRY (4-1): Seemingly astute Asmussen claim (16%) was taken out of a 20k and bumped up, and the fact he was a strong 2nd that day, in what was his first start in over a year, says he can move forward in a big way today, in a race begging for a fresh new face to make a big dent. 
    
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the middle Pk5 as well.
