Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Sun 9.29.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 9/29/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 6 |
| Race overview | A compact field of six in an MSW going a stamina-testing 1 ¼ miles. |
| Pace | Expect it to be a crawl early, as this is not a distance you’re going to see often on the main track, and several are no guarantee to see it out either. |
| 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 | #5 PADIDDLE (3-1): Lynch runner is bred top and bottom for the trip and will now run on the main track with blinkers for the first time, and his tactical speed should play well here too. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the middle Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD: 7-3-1-0 ($2.25/$6.31 through 9/22)
