Nadeau: Churchill Downs Play of the Day Wed 9.18.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 9/18/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 1 |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive 16k claimer for 3up at 6Fs. |
| Pace | Pace makes the race and there’s a ton here, which suggests this could come apart in the lane and set up the stalker/closers. |
| Trends | It’s all dirt all the time at the meet, and the main track was very fair last week, and even seemed to tilt a bit towards off-the-pace types. |
| Best Play | #5 BURNINHUNKOFLOVE (4-1): Invader has been in Texas and Oklahoma and has been running well, now goes to Sharp, who can move them up, has a local win, and owns the right running style to swoop them all in the lane. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single to kick off the early Pk5 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD Meet:
CD POD: 4-2-1-0 ($2.17/$7.44 through 9/15)
