Play of the Day – April 30th 2021
Play of the Day | |
Race Date | April 30, 2021 |
Track | Churchill Downs |
Race | 9 |
Overview | A deep renewal of the G2 Eight Belles, with plenty of speed, and a potentially vulnerable favorite (#10 Dayoutoftheoffice) who hasn’t been out since November. |
Pace | It looks extremely fast, as several want to be involved early, which could tilt this to a stalker/closer. |
Trends | The main track has been VERY speedy during the week, regardless of the surface condition, and it’s been very tough to pass, so make sure to keep that in mind, especially since it could be souped up and fast and speedy on a big race day. |
Best Bet | OBLIGATORY |
Number | 7 |
Morning Line | (10-1) |
Best Bet Overview | #7 OBLIGATORY (10-1): Lightly raced filly endured a tough trip at FG behind two stars and now cuts back to one-turn, has the speed to be in midpack, and should be primed off the far turn when the early pace begins to take its toll. |
Picks & Plays | WPS bet and a must-use in all horizontal exotics. |
