Nadeau: PLAY OF THE DAY / CD 4.29.26
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 4/29/26 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 10 |
| Race overview | A full but extremely modest field of fm3up 30k N2L at 1 1/16 miles on the turf (rails at 24’). |
| Pace | There’s not much here, which means #6 NEVER REALLY KNOW (7-2) should trip out on or just off the early lead. |
| Trends | The CD turf can be unpredictable, in terms of whether horses take to it or not, but on the whole, it plays fair and is rarely a speed-favoring highway that a GP or SA can be. |
| Best Play | #6 NEVER REALLY KNOW (7-2) (turf only): Versatile sort gets back to turf after a dirt comeback at FG, and showed the best form and figures here as a 2 and 3yo, which means she should be that much tougher back on her preferred surface, not to mention she gets a huge edge in terms of her speed. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP place bet, and single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
