“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau

Date

4/23/25

Featured track

Keeneland

Race number

3

Race overview

A modest 50k MCL for 3up at 1 1/8 miles.

Pace

Things look slow early, especially at a trip that will be a stretch for many, so having a stalking gear seems preferred.

Trends

The main track seemed to have a slight towards speed last week, but hardly anything too overwhelming, and with three days off, it’s worth paying attention to how things play out.

Best Play

#7 SPURGEON (2-1): MSW dropper was given seven tries in the big leagues and couldn’t break through while running underneath, so this move makes sense, and his overall form is simply better than these, so he should finally get it done.

Bet Types

Aggressive WP and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
