“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  11/4/26 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs  
   
Race number  5 
    
Race overview  A very weak 50k MCL for 2yo fillies at 6 furlongs. 
    
Pace  On paper, for a full field, there’s really not much signed on, so having tactical speed seems imperative. 
   
Trends  The main track has extremely fair early in the meet, with winners coming from everywhere, including several off-the-pace. 
   
Best Play  #12 JACKIE’S PLAYER (3-1): Cox MSW droppers hasn’t fired in two starts, but her debut was in the slop and then she routed at two turns on the turf, so on a fast main track, at this reduced level, with blinkers added to an already speedy package, she looks primed. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet, and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
