“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  4/8/25 
   
Featured track  Keeneland  
   
Race number  10 
    
Race overview  A relatively modest and compact renewal of the G1 Blue Grass for 3yos at 1 1/8 miles. 
    
Pace  It looks like it could be honest, if not on the hot side, as there are more than a few who want to be involved, though with the Oritz brothers riding a pair of them (#1 River Thames and #4 Owen Almighty), it’s anyone’s guess as to how it actually unfolds early, though we do know #5 East Avenue will be going. 
   
Trends  N/A 
   
Best Play  #3 BURNHAM SQUARE (9-2): G3 Holy Bull winner still has to prove he’s this kind, but his stalking style will get flattered by the flow today, and if you watch the G2 Fountain of Youth, it seemed clear he was a short horse who was prepping for this. 
    
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
