Nadeau: Churchill 6.12.26 Play of the Day
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 6/12/26 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 6 |
| Race overview | An extremely deep and competitive OC 100k/C for 3up at 1 1/16 miles on the turf. |
| Pace | There’s none here to run with confirmed front-runner #7 CAPTAIN CHOOCHIES (5-1), who should be loose and controlling throughout. |
| Trends | They don’t run enough turf races here for there to be a true course profile, but overall things seem to play fair to all styles. |
| Best Play | #7 CAPTAIN CHOOCHIES (5-1) (turf only): The definitive speed has been in good form all year at SA and drops from a G3, where he was beaten just 4 lengths, and with aggressive gate rider Geroux calling the shots, the path to victory is an obvious one. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and a must-use/potential leverage single in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well. |
