“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 9/26/26
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 6
 
Race overview A strong N1X for fm3up at 1 1/16 miles.
 
Pace It figures on the slow side, as there are no burners signed on, so expect a tight pack that will sprint off the far turn.
Trends A fast main track continued to play fair over the week, with winners coming from all over, including several from off-the-pace.
Best Play #3 COUPLET (9-5): Lightly-raced daughter of Gun Runner looked good breaking her maiden an now stretches to two turns, with a pedigree to love the trip, and while facing winners is never easy, she gets a big boost because three-of-six rivals are doing the same.
Bet Types Aggressive win bet, and single in the middle Pk5/Pk4 as well.
