PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  6/25/26 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs  
   
Race number  1 
   
Race overview  A very meek bottom-level 12.5k claimer for fm3up at 6Fs. 
   
Pace  It looks honest enough, as a pair of longshots on the inside want to be part of the pace early on. 
   
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 IMMINENT RISK (3-1): Turf-to-dirt runner is bred top and bottom for the main track, also goes second-off a long layoff, drops stiffly in class, and sure doesn’t meet anyone with proven dirt form that she should be scared of. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet, and single to kick off the early Pk5 as well.
