Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Mon 5.26.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 5/26/25 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 2 |
| Race overview | A very weak (even for this level) 12.5k MCL for 3up at 1 1/16 miles on the main track. |
| Pace | There’s really none here, not to mention a ton of one-run deep closers, which gives #8 PROMISSIONE (5-2) a huge edge. |
| Trends | The main track seemed to play a bit more forward last week, but on a whole, when fast, it’s been fair more often than not. |
| Best Play | #8 PROMISSIONE (5-2): Pace player just missed at the level going a one-turn mile last time, which means he should be on the lead here, after just running fast enough to beat this meek group. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5, and to kick off the early Pk4 as well. |
