Nadeau: Churchill 6.24.26 Play of the Day
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 6/24/26 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 5 |
| Race overview | A predictably deep and competitive 50k claimer for 3up at 7Fs. |
| Pace | It looks honest, and potentially a bit heated, as more than a few want to be involved from the start. |
| Trends | The main track continues to play on the fair side, and even had a slight off-the-pace feel to it on Saturday and Sunday. |
| Best Play | #4 BANNED FOR LIFE (9-5): Sharp runner tried tougher on turf off-the-claim, which didn’t work, but he’s now back on his preferred surface, where he has strong form, and will now run on the dirt for the first time for his potent new barn. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well. |

CD POD: 29-6-4-5 ($1.56/$4.68 ROI through 6/21)
