PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  11/23/2022 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs  
   
Race number  4 
   
Race overview  A decent 30k MCL for 2yos routing 1 1/16 miles on the main track. 
   
Pace  It should be honest and potentially competitive, as several have shown signs of wanting to be close early, including more than a few trying two turns for the first time. 
   
Trends  The main track has gotten plenty of use throughout the meet and has held up nicely, while playing fair, with little apparent path or running style biases. 
   
Best Play  #6 DIFFERENT FLAME (7-2): Improving sort had a “they’re off, you lose” trip last time going 6Fs, when he lost upwards of 10 lengths at the break yet still ran on late, and he’s bred for the stretchout today, and should love the pace he’ll get to rally into. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single to in the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the second Pk4 as well.
