Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Sat 9.16.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 9/16/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Churchill Downs – Race 5 |
| Race overview: | A middling 75k N2L for 3up going 7Fs on the main track. |
| Pace: | There’s very little here to keep #1 QUICK HAMMER (3-1) from making the front and controlling the early tempo. |
| Trends: | N/A |
| Best Play: | #1 Quick Hammer (3-1): Expected Lone F couldn’t make a dent against allowance runners at Ellis but meets some friends here, many of which are dead one-run closers, which gives him a huge tactical edge. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and in the middle Pk5, and to kick off the middle Pk4 as well. |
| POD/Meet Stats: | |
