PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  6/28/25 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs  
   
Race number  9 
   
Race overview  A stellar renewal of the G3 Kelly’s Landing for 3yo at 6 ½ Fs. 
   
Pace  They’ll be humming along early, as more than a few want to be on or just off the early lead. 
   
Trends  The track continues to play fair, with winners coming from all over, though a drying out main track can play to outside stalker/closers. 
   
Best Play  #1 DR. VENKMAN (5-2): G2 winner was a strong 2nd behind the freaking Nysos in the G3 Triple Bend at SA, in what was his first start off a nine-month layoff, should only be tighter from that, and should be able to work out a trip just off the early pace. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single ALL the horizontal exotics. 
   
Play of the Day Winners  CD POD: 29-9-1-8 ($1.68/$5.18 ROI through 6/22)
