PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  4/18/26 
   
Featured track  Keeneland  
   
Race number  6 
   
Race overview  A solid N2L for 3yo fillies at 1 3/16 miles on the turf. 
   
Pace  There’s basically none on paper, so this should be a tight early, and one that will sprint off the far turn. 
   
Trends  The Keeneland turf typically plays on the fair side, with winners eligible to come from everywhere, though it’s worth noting the inside paths did seem to play well Sunday (so monitor things Wednesday and Thursday as well). 
   
Best Play  #9 KENTUCKY BELLE (8-5) (turf only): Cox filly was a closing 2nd at GP when she seemed to lose focus after going wide into the far turn, then found herself again midstretch and was running on strongly, which suggests this added ground will be perfect. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet, and single in the horizontal exotics as well.
