PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  9/24/25 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs  
   
Race number  4 
   
Race overview  An extremely watered down 20k MCL for 3up at 6 furlongs.  
   
Pace  It looks honest enough, as there are more than a few who want to be close and involved early on. 
   
Trends  A fast main track continued to play very fair throughout the week, with winners coming from everywhere. 
   
Best Play  #6 SHADOW CAST (2-1): MSW dropper also goes turf-to-dirt, drew perfectly, has the speed to be on or just off the early lead, and looks poised for a long overdue breakthrough win. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
