PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  5/11/25 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs  
   
Race number  8 
   
Race overview  As tough a 25k starter-allowance for 4up at 6Fs as you’ll ever see. 
   
Pace  Oddly enough, there’s very little here, so expect a tight group that will sprint off the far turn. 
   
Trends  We’re finally getting some consistent racing on a fast main track, and while it’s a bit too early to tell, the main did have an off-the-pace feel to it Thursday and Friday, which is worth monitoring. 
   
Best Play  #1 COMDEDY TOWN (5-2): Huge class dropper has been facing tons better the past 10 months yet gets to run here based on a prior lifetime, and while the rail is no great shakes and he’s lost four in a row, it’s time to get healthy today. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
