PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  9/7/24 
   
Featured track  Ky Downs 
   
Race number  4 
   
Race overview  A seemingly very modest MSW for 2yos at 1-mile. 
   
Pace  On paper there’s really none here, so expect a tight group and a sprint off the far turn, and into the long stretch. 
   
Trends  The turf has been relatively speedy during the early days of the meet, though obviously on an undulating course like this, it’s as much about a horse handling the surface than anything else. 
   
Best Play  #9 COURAGEOUS CLAY (3-1): Tactical sort was a big 3rd on debut at Ellis then got beat by the draw last time, but this one works here, he can be placed anywhere, and on paper at least, he lays over this weak field. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in all the horizontal exotics as well.
