Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Thurs 11.7.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 11/7/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 7 |
| Race overview | A full field of 2yos in a starter/optional claimer at 6 furlongs, in what looks like an above average field for this level. |
| Pace | It looks honest, and potentially crowded, as there are more than a few who want to be on, or just off the early lead. |
| Trends | The main track had a very fair feel to it last week, with winners coming from everywhere, and Sunday even seemed to tilt towards off-the-pace runners a bit. |
| Best Play | #7 EIGHTY WEST (3-1): Stiff class dropper was in too tough at Kee but meets some friends here, drew well to be outside the other speed, and looks poised for a breakthrough when viewed off the dominant Saratoga (restricted) MSW win. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD: 4-0-3-0 (X/$5.39)
CD Meet: 41-10-5-8 ($1.96/$5.02 through 11/3)
