PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 6/28/26
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 9
 
Race overview A solid renewal of the G3 Maxfield for 3yos at 7Fs on the main track.
 
Pace It looks honest, and potentially heated, as there are more than a few who want to be involved.
Trends The main track continues to play on the fair side, though with all the rain earlier in the week, it’s important to monitor things.
Best Play #4 BRANT (3-1): Always felt this Baffert runner was a one-turn horse, so while he disappointed on the Triple Crown Trail, and has run only once this year, he’s back to doing what he does best.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well.
