Nadeau: PLAY OF THE DAY / CD 4.28.26
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 4/28/26 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 7 |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive 20k N2L for 3up at 7 furlongs. |
| Pace | It looks honest enough, as it’s a full field and there are more than a few who want to be close and/or involved early. |
| Trends | It’s only been two days, but the main track seemed a bit forward this weekend. However, Derby Week is a different beast all together, and it’s usually speedy and can be inside as well, so take note early in the week—provided the track is fast. |
| Best Play | #2 ANOTHER MONARCH (4-1): Hess charge improved OTC when last seen 1/11, has worked forwardly for this, including twice in Kentucky, lures Irad, and has a stalking style that will play here. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP place bet, and a must-use/potential leverage single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
