PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 5/14/26
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 4
 
Race overview A seemingly modest (on paper) MSW for 2yos at 5 furlongs.
 
Pace It’s a full field of (mostly) first-time starters, so things figure honest on the front end.
Trends The main track seemed to be slightly on the speedy side, though nothing too out of the ordinary.
Best Play #6 CUT THROAT (3-1): Rivelli firster (27%) comes in from Hawthorne with bullets for his unveiling, for a barn that routinely invades to win a few of these every year, and this son for freshman sire Cyberknife—who stands for 15k—cost a pricey 300k in March, so you know he’s a good looker and a good mover.
Bet Types Aggressive WP place bet, and single in the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well.
