Nadeau: Keeneland Play of the Day Fri 4.19.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 4/19/24 |
| Featured track | Keeneland |
| Race number | 8 |
| Race overview | A very modest N1X for 4up going 1 1/16 miles to the short stretch finish line on the main track. |
| Pace | There’s not much here, which should help those who want to be close early, like #2 HURRY HURRY (10-1), while hurting those who don’t, like #3 Dreamlike (4-5). |
| Trends | The main track continues to be speedy and play to the inside, and at this trip, with the short stretch and finish line, you have to be close early, as horses just don’t make up a lot of ground late. |
| Best Play | #2 HURRY HURRY (10-1): Local winner enters fresh and has the tactical speed to be close early, to a pace that looks slow, which will allow him first-run on the only horse to fear, #3 Dreamlike (4-5), who hasn’t started since the BC Classic, has no speed, and is obviously prepping for much bigger down the road. |
| Bet Types | WPS bet and a must-use/potential single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Kee Meet (through 4/14): 76-19-15-17 ($1.69 /$5.93)
Kee POD (through 4/14): 7-0-2-2 (X/$3.20)
