Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Wed 9.25.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 9/25/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 6 |
| Race overview | An overflow field of 3upfm 20k MCL’ers going 6 ½ furlongs. |
| Pace | There’s not a ton here, as more than a few want to come from the clouds, so at the very least, tactical speed seems essential. |
| Trends | It’s all dirt all the time at the meet, and the main track continues to play fair, as all running styles have had repeatedly won races. |
| Best Play | #8 DESPO’S DREAM (5-2): Class dropper didn’t like routing on the turf, so draw a line through her last, but the preceding two dirt sprints lay over this field, and she now goes to Sharp (18% with newcomers), who immediately reaches for Gaffalione, which says it’s go-time today. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD: 7-3-1-0 ($2.25/$6.31 through 9/22)
