PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  6/23/24 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs 
   
Race number  7 
   
Race overview  A competitive 40k N2L for 3up at 7Fs on the main track. 
   
Pace  It looks honest enough, as more than a few want to be close early, though there are no real burners either. 
   
Trends  The main track sped up a bit last week, playing a bit more to speed types, but overall is has been remarkably consistent all meet, with few, if any path biases, and all running styles having a fair go of it more often than not. 
   
Best Play  #5 SHOW TIME (2-1): California transplant was claimed out of his return by Sharp (22% OTC), who is 27% 2nd-off this elongated layoff, and that 3rd last time was solid, and he rises in class today too, all which give a strong indication a big forward move is coming. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
