PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  6/1/24 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs 
   
Race number  4 
   
Race overview  A weak but full field MSW for fms going 1-mile on the main track. 
   
Pace  There’s very little here, especially with 12 of them lining up, so expect things to be tempered early, which means tactical speed is at a premium. 
   
Trends  The main track has been remarkably consistent all meet, with few, if any path biases, and all running styles having a fair go of it more often than not. 
   
Best Play  #3 SOUNDBITE (3-1): Cox charge was favored on debut at Kee and ran well when 2nd, beaten just a neck, is bred for the added ground, will be close throughout, and has more upside than anyone else in the field. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick of the middle Pk5 as well.
