Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Sat 6.29.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 6/29/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 9 |
| Race overview | A relatively modest renewal of the 250k American Derby for 3yos going 1 1/16 miles on the turf. |
| Pace | There’s really none here at all, and the best horse – #1 GREEN LIGHT (3-1) – has a hint of it, so expect him to be sent along. |
| Trends | N/A |
| Best Play | #1 GREEN LIGHT (3-1) (turf only): Expected Lone F dazzled in his MSW win, and while this is a big rise in class, he looked like a superstar winning by 10 ½ lengths, meets a meek field, and has a decided flow edge here as well. |
| Bet Types | You may not see a worse ML all year, but even in the 8-5 range he’s playable in the win pool, though the real value comes in the horizontal exotics, where he can be singled in all pools/ |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD (through 6/26): 31-10-3-6 ($2.74/$6.39)
