PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 11/16/25
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 8
 
Race overview An extremely weak (on paper) MSW for 2yo fillies at 5 ½ furlongs.
 
Pace It’s a full field with several first-time starters, so things figure honest and potentially contested early on.
Trends The main track continued to play fairly the first three days of the week, with winners coming from everywhere.
Best Play #1 SLAY THE DAY (3-1): Lynch filly dueled and tired in her debut at 4-1, so they bet her in a big field, for a trainer that rarely wins with firsters but is 21% with second-time maidens, and against this weak crew, she figures primed.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
