PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  4/24/25 
   
Featured track  Keeneland  
   
Race number  9 
   
Race overview  A seemingly modest MS for fm3up at 1-mile on the turf. 
   
Pace  It should be honest enough, as there are a few who want to be close early, along with a slew of first-time starters as well. 
   
Trends  The turf isn’t used enough to get a true feel, though on the whole, it’s much more fair than say a GP or SA, which are always going to cater to early speed types. 
   
Best Play  #5 HALSTYN ROSE (7-2) (turf only): California invader seems on the improve and now makes the third start of her form cycle and off the layoff, but more importantly, she finally will run two turns and route, and her pedigree is bred to relish both. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP and single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
