PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  10/18/24 
   
Featured track  Keeneland  
   
Race number  3 
   
Race overview  A deep and competitive 30k N2L for 3up at 7Fs on the main track. 
   
Pace  It doesn’t look too oversubscribed up front, which suggests being able to lay close early will be ideal. 
   
Trends  The main track continues to play fair, with winners coming from everywhere, and last week it even seemed to tilt towards off-the-pace runners a little bit. 
   
Best Play  #1 ALILNALOT (9-2): Stalker has been running in some better-than-average races for the level and now goes off-the-claim for Cano (14%), which is a huge upgrade from a barn that is 1-for-60 on the year, and his running style should allow him to trip out and get first run just off the speed. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. 
   
Play of the Day Winners  Kee POD: 8-3-1-0 ($2.33/$5.59 through 10/13)
