“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 11/15/26
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 2
 
Race overview A solid 30k claimer for fm3up at 1 1/16 miles.
 
Pace It figures on the slow side, as there are no real burners signed on, so having the ability to lay close seems imperative.
Trends For the first time all meet, the main track played very speedy both Wednesday and Thursday, with the winners being on or just off the lead early, so monitor things Friday, and early on this card as well.
Best Play #5 SONG OF SONGS (5-2): Stalker gets a huge switch off-the-claim to Kenneally today, as that’s a 31% angle, and she enters off  solid 2nd at Kee too, while many others come in with sketchy form.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single in the early Pk5, and to kick off the early Pk4 as well.
