PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  10/12/24 
   
Featured track  Keeneland  
   
Race number  7 
   
Race overview  A seemingly modest but full field of 2yofs in an MSW at 6 furlongs on the main track. 
   
Pace  It’s a full field, with several firsters as well, so things should be honest, and potentially contested, on the front end. 
   
Trends  The main track played to speed and was FAST, as the fractions were ridiculously quick, yet horses kept going, so make sure to monitor things early in the week and proceed accordingly. 
   
Best Play  #6 KEEPSAKE (3-1): Cox firster has a strong pedigree, big works, and lures Prat, which is significant, and, on least on paper, doesn’t meet the saltiest MSW they will run at the meet, which says she’s in a good, good spot. 
   
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  Kee POD: 3-1-0-0 ($2.49/$4.75 through 10/6)
