Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Sat 9.30.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 9/30/2022 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 3 |
| Race overview | A strong 50k claimer for 3up going 1 1/16 miles on the main track. |
| Pace | It doesn’t look overly heated, as there’s not a lot of true confirmed speed, so tactical speed, at the very least, should be preferred. |
| 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 | #3 ROYAL ACT (4-1): Class dropper has been freshened since wintering at Oaklawn by Diodoro, who has been hot to start the meet, and anything close to this 6yo’s best beats these. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet at 2-1 or better, while getting some built-in value by singling in the early Pk5/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)
