PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  6/30/24 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs 
   
Race number  7 
   
Race overview  A deep and competitive A/OC for 3yos going 1 1/8 miles on the main track. 
   
Pace  It doesn’t look overly heated, and at this elongated trip you’d expect things to be tempered early, so tactical speed is a plus. 
   
Trends  The main track 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  #2 GUN PARTY (7-2): Strong MSW winner seems on the upswing and is bred to love this trip, drew well, and should be close enough under Rosario, who is as strong a finishing rider as there is, which should be a big asset in the lane. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the multitude of horizontal exotics as well.
