Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Thurs 5.22.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 5/22/25 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 5 |
| Race overview | A restricted MSW for fm3up at 1 1/16 miles on the main track. |
| Pace | There’s little to none here, so anyone with some tactical speed should be elevated, and expect a bunched group on the far turn. |
| Trends | The main track seemed to play a bit more forward last week, though it continues, on a whole, to play fair when it’s been fast. |
| Best Play | #5 LOLO LE PLUME (5-2): Open MSW runner finally takes the big drop after eight tries, so this reduced level is some massive class relief, and it’s not like she wasn’t holding her own and then some against the classier foes she’s been facing. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD: 123-35-22-14 ($1.94/$4.78 ROI through 5/18)
CD Meet: 11-3-0-2 ($1.58/$3.91 ROI through 5/18)
