Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Sat 5.31.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 5/31/25 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 10 |
| Race overview | A tremendous renewal of the G3 Blame for 4up at 1 1/8 miles, which is a prep for the local G1 Stephen Foster next month. |
| Pace | There’s plenty here on paper, as several want to be part of the pace, so the ability to settle a bit should come in very handy. |
| Trends | The main track continues to be on the fair side, with all types of running styles having a fair go of it. |
| Best Play | #3 ANTIQUARIAN (15-1): Accomplished 3yo was a workmanlike winner in his 4yo debut at 7Fs, a distance far short of his best, and while he’s behind most of these on paper, his upside is tremendous, he should be cranked for this (while others are likely prepping), and the value is worth it and then some. |
| Bet Types | WPS bet and a must-use/potential leverage single in the multitude of horizontal exotics as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD: 169-48-30-24 ($1.86/$5.75 ROI through 5/26)
CD Meet: 16-6-0-2 ($1.77/$4.72 ROI through 5/26)
