PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau

Date 10/21/26

Featured track Keeneland

Race number 5

Race overview A seemingly modest (on paper) MSW for 2yos over the short stretch/finish line at 1 1/16 miles.

Pace It should be honest, as it’s a full field, several of which are stretching out off of sprints.

Trends The main track was a mess last week, so monitor it this week, but as a whole, a fast main track has been on the forward side, a style you need to have at this trip with the short run to the finish.

Best Play #2 JACKPOT ROCKET (3-1): Improving Mott runner stretches out to two turns and into a pedigree that is bred to love the trip, drew well, will be close early from a ground-saving draw, and enters off a 3rd in a very fast race for the level.

Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4 as well, and in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well.
