Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Sun 6.15.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 6/15/25 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 5 |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive N1X for 3up at 7 ½ Fs on the main track. |
| Pace | It looks a bit on the tepid side, as there aren’t many with early zip, which suggests you need the ability to lay close early. |
| Trends | The main track was fair and even seemed on Wednesday, and, for the most part, has been throughout the meet (when fast). |
| Best Play | #5 ALSTON (6-1): Returnee delivered in his only start at Indiana, when he won decisively and in fast time, and while the layoff and facing winners are a concern, he’s bred to be a serious horse, has worked huge for this, and should trip out from close range as well. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and in the middle Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD: 207-58-35-30 (1.86/$5.65 ROI through 6/1)
CD Meet: 20-6-1-3 ($1.42/$4.67 ROI through 6/1)
