Nadeau: Play of the Day Thurs 6.22.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 6/22/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Ellis Park – Race 1 |
| Race overview: | A relatively modest 10k MCL sprinting 6Fs on the main. |
| Pace: | It looks honest, especially with the ML favorite (#1 King of Kentucky 9-5) down on the inside with plenty of speed. |
| Trends: | The main track was speedy and played to the inside a bit last week, so taking runners who are forwardly placed might be the best idea. |
| Best Play: | #8 SWAGGISH (3-1): Asmussen charge has been freshened, drops, and runs as a first-time gelding for a barn that has done no wrong at the meet, and note Gaffalione lands here as well. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single to kick off the early Pk5 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | ElP POD: 4-1-1-0 $1.18/$3.89
