Nadeau: Keeneland Play of the Day Sunday 4.23.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 4/23/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Keeneland – Race 3 |
| Race overview: | A below-average 50k claimer going 7Fs on the main, which means a class riser in great form, like #6 KEEN LADY (7-2), might be in a prime spot. |
| Pace: | It looks slow to non-existent, as several are confirmed one-run closers, so the ability to lay close is paramount. |
| Trends: | The main track has tilted towards speed (which is nothing unusual), though there has been no obvious biases in terms of running styles or paths, while the turf has been on fair side. |
| Best Play: | #6 KEEN LADY (7-2): Streaking filly has won her last two by a combined 11 lengths and now takes a confident rise off the 30k claim by Lovell, and note she was a solid 2nd here last year as well. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | Kee Meet: 68-20-16-8 ($1.92/$6.42)
Kee POD: 6-1-1-3 ($1.26/$4.44)
