PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 11/7/25
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 8
 
Race overview A strong MSW for 2yos at 1 1/16 miles.
 
Pace There’s little to none on paper, as many of these have been closing early in their career, though the stretchout could change things.
Trends A fast main track (it was sloppy Weds/Thurs) played to speed Saturday but was fairer Sunday, even playing to off-the-pace types.
Best Play #2 MESQUITE (9-2): DeVaux runner broke slow then made up some ground and passed a few late on debut at 6Fs, is bred top-and-bottom to route, and should improve for a trainer that rarely has them cranked on debut but is 17% with second-time maidens.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
