Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Wed 5.3.23
new
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 5/3/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Churchill Downs – Race 7 |
| Race overview: | A solid, though hardly spectacular N1X going a tricky 7 ½ furlongs on the main. |
| Pace: | It looks potentially hot and contested, as there are a trio who want to be involved early, and all three are stretching out off shorter sprints last time, so a tactical gear could come in handy. |
| Trends: | N/A |
| Best Play: | #5 SPARTAN ARMY (8-1): FG invader woke up as a first-time gelding last time, and had a troubled trip too, so on the stretchout, with a pedigree that should relish some added ground, he looks primed from midpack. |
| Bet Types: | WPS bet and get some added value by singling to end the middle Pk4, the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | CD Meet: 10-4-1-2 ($1.87/$5.28 ROI through 5/1)
CD POD: 1-0-1-0 (X ROI through 5/1)
