| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 9/23/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Churchill Downs – Race 8 |
| Race overview: | A solid renewal of the 300k Harrods Creek for 3yos going 7Fs on the main. |
| Pace: | There’s plenty of it to the outside, so things should be honest early. |
| Trends: | There’s been just four racing days, but overall, the main track has been on the fair side, with winners able to come from everywhere. |
| Best Play: | #3 Loyal Company (3-1): Godolphin homebred stepped up and ran well in the Ellis Park Derby over the funky 1-mile trip, cuts back, and has a stalking gear to sit just off the early pace. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the middle Pk5, late Pk5, and to kick off the early Pk4 as well. |
| POD/Meet Stats: | CD Meet Stats (through 9/20: 49-11-6-7 ($1.49/$4.53)
CD POD Stats (through 9/20): 5-0-1-0 (X/$1.96) |
