PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  11/12/25 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs  
   
Race number  8 
   
Race overview  A deep and competitive A/OC for 3up at 1 1/16 miles. 
   
Pace  It should be honest, as there’s longshot speed (#5) and someone to keep him honest (#8). 
   
Trends  A fast main track played very fair the latter half of the week, with winners coming from everywhere. 
   
Best Play  #1 BIG BLUE LINE (5-1): Dutrow runner was knocking heads with some good ones on the main track in Saratoga and holding his own, so he has a class edge here, and drew well and can lay close too. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
