“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 11/7/26
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 10
Race overview A deep and competitive renewal of the 300k Bet On Sunshine, for 3up at 6 furlongs on the main track.
Pace There are a few who want to be close, and then there is #3 Viking (6-1), who want to roll early, and should be able to get loose.
Trends The main track has extremely fair early in the meet, with winners coming from everywhere, including several off-the-pace.
Best Play #3 VIKING (6-1): GP invader has become a new horse since moving to the Fawkes barn, has been scratched out of a few South Florida spots to wait for this, and has the gate speed to run them all off their feet, while catching a solid group, but no world beaters.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
