Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Thurs 11.14.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 11/14/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 3 |
| Race overview | A meek 12.5k claimer for 3up at 6 ½ furlongs. |
| Pace | It looks honest and contested, as there are more than a few who want to be involved early, which suggests—especially at a demanding distance—a stalking gear will come in handy. |
| Trends | The main track continues to play fair, with winners coming from everywhere, including all running paths as well. |
| Best Play | #5 KANT BEAT THE ROCK (7-2): Stalker came off the layoff with a good—and fast—4th at BAQ and now ships in for a big purse for a Jacobson barn that has been live all meet long, and anything close to his last wins this easy. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet at 2-1 or better, while getting some built-in value by singling in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD Meet: 89-24-13-10 ($1.87/$5.07 through 11/10)
CD POD: 9-0-4-0 (X/$3.11 through 11/10)
