Nadeau: Keeneland Play of the Day Sat 10.19.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 10/19/24 |
| Featured track | Keeneland |
| Race number | 7 |
| Race overview | A sterling renewal of the G3 Perryville for 3yos at 7 furlongs. |
| Pace | There’s a full filed, with several who would like to be close, but vey few who actually want to motor early (#6 Goodlookinjustice 20-1), which suggests this could be won up close. |
| 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 | #3 KNIGHTSBRIDGE (3-1): Would-be superstar has had trouble making it to the races but has been stunningly brilliant in both career starts, has worked big for this, has a huge tactical edge on his main rival (#5 Book’em Danno), and the fact he returns in a stakes says he’s kicking the barn door down and ready to roll. |
| 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: 8-3-1-0 ($2.33/$5.59 through 10/13)
