Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Wed 10.30.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 10/30/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 2 |
| Race overview | A seemingly average field of 50k MCL’ers going 6 furlongs on the main track. |
| Pace | It looks honest, as there are more than a few who want to be close and involved early on. |
| Trends | It’s just one card and nine races, but Opening Day (Sunday) played a bit off-the-pace, as speed struggled to hold, which is worth monitoring as the meet moves on. |
| Best Play | #5 ALL THE LUCK (4-1): MSW dropper also goes turf-to-dirt, but more importantly, moves from an 11% trainer to Saffie Joseph Jr., which is about as big a trainer switch as you can get, with a horse who was already as good, if not better than his rivals to begin with. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5, and to kick off the early Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD: 1-0-0-0
CD Meet: 11-3-1-2 ($2.41/$5.19 through 10/27)
