Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Sat 9.28.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 9/28/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 1 |
| Race overview | A solid 30k MCL for 3up at 6 ½ furlongs |
| Pace | It looks on the tepid side, as there aren’t many who want to motor early, so tactical speed seems essential. |
| Trends | It’s all dirt all the time at the meet, and the main track continues to play fair, as all running styles have had repeatedly won races. |
| Best Play | #6 GUN BARREL (3-1): MSW dropper looks spotted to score with apprentice son Erik aboard, and this one is bred for the dirt as well, which says a big wakeup could be coming. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single to kick off the early Pk5 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD: 7-3-1-0 ($2.25/$6.31 through 9/22)
