Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Fri 11.17.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 11/17/2022 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 4 |
| Race overview | A competitive 12.5k claimer for 3up going 7Fs on the main. |
| Pace | There’s not any true sprint/one-turn speed, which could allow #7 POPULIST (3-1) set the pace and potentially control things early. |
| Trends | The main track played very fair last week, with winners coming from everywhere, and there were no apparent path biases either. |
| Best Play | #7 POPULIST (3-1): Class dropper was in against tougher at Kee for 16k, while going two turns as well, but dropping to 12.5k isn’t a big deal, and Pino is 22% OTC and spots them where they can win, and that fast sprint 4th two-back would decimate this field. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD: 7-2-1-2 ($1.73/$5.03 through 11/12)
CD meet: 88-236-16-12 ($1.97/$5.65 through 11/12)
