Nadeau: Play of the Day Churchill Sun 10.1.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 10/1/2022 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 7 |
| Race overview | A seemingly solid MSW for 2yos going 1-mile on the main. |
| Pace | It should be honest, as there are a few first-time starters from ace connections that figure to show speed, and some experienced runners who will as well. |
| Trends | The main track really seemed to tilt towards stalker/closers over the weekend, which is worth keeping an eye on as they come back for another five-day race week. |
| Best Play | #5 STRONGHOLD (4-1): Impressive runner was 2nd on debut in a fast race for the level while finishing 10 lengths clear of 3rd, has a big experience edge on the firsters, and should love the added ground he gets here. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet at 2-1 or better, while getting some built-in value by singling in the middle Pk4, late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD (through 9/27): 10-1-2-1 ($0.57/$3.52)
CD Overall (through 9/27): 96-21-15-17 ($1.35/$4.57)
