PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  10/23/25 
   
Featured track  Keeneland  
   
Race number  7 
   
Race overview  A deep N2L for 2yos at 1 1/16 miles on the turf. 
   
Pace  It looks on the slow side, as there are no burners signed on, while several entered have shown an affinity to come from off the pace. 
   
Trends  They don’t run enough turf races to develop any kind of trend or bias, though this is a much fairer course than a speedier Sar or GP. 
   
Best Play  #9 EXPRESSWAY (7-2) (turf only): Mott charge drops from a G3 and stretches out, and while both are important, it’s the latter that could signal a big breakthrough, as this one is bred top and bottom (by Hard Spun out of a Stroll mare) to relish two turns. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
