Nadeau: Churchill 6.18.26 Play of the Day
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 6/18/26 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 6 |
| Race overview | A very weak 12.5k MCL for 3up at 1 1/16 miles on the main track. |
| Pace | There’s not much here at all, so expect things to be slow early, and turn into a sprint off the far turn. |
| Trends | The main track continues to play on the fair side, and even had a slight off-the-pace feel to it over the weekend. |
| Best Play | #8 BOTH SIDES OF BAD (2-1): Stiff class dropper has been doing the turf thing but is bred top and bottom for the dirt, should be close enough early with a better start than he had in his last, and should relish the competition while trying two turns on the main track for the first time as well. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |

CD POD: 24-5-3-3 ($1.29/$4.00 ROI through 6/14)
