Nadeau: Churchill 6.19.26 Play of the Day
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | ||
| Date | 6/19/26 | |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs | |
| Race number | 7 | |
| Race overview | A very deep and competitive 20k claimer for 3up at 6 12 furlongs. | |
| Pace | There’s a ton here, as several entered want to roll early, and at a tricky and demanding distance, this could fall apart in the lane. | |
| Trends | The main track continues to play on the fair side, and even had a slight off-the-pace feel to it over the weekend. | |
| Best Play | #6 FORTY LOVE (5-1): Oaklawn invader goes off-the-claim for Harnandez and Amaty Racing, who were once a potent duo at Gulfstream and are now teaming up again, and this 4yo has the form, foundation—and running style—to take advantage of the expected hot and contested pace up front. | |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. | |
