Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Thurs 6.20.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 6/20/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 8 |
| Race overview | An extremely weak MSW for 3upfm going 7Fs on the main track. |
| Pace | It’s a full field, with several first-time starters as well, so things should be honest, and potentially even hot and contested early. |
| 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 | #7 ISLANDER (7-2): Gun Runner filly cost $1.5 million so there are expectations here for her debut, and she hasn’t missed a beat in the AM since late April, should love the 7Fs, and could not possibly find a better crew to run against at first asking. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single to end the Lae Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD: 25-7-3-4 ($1.94/$5.05)
