Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Thurs 11.21.24
| Date | 11/21/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 3 |
| Race overview | A full field of 12, but an extremely weak—even for this level—20k MCL for 2yos at 1 1/16 miles. |
| Pace | There’s not a ton on paper, as several of these have shown little to no speed at all, which suggests things will be a crawl early on. |
| Trends | The main track continues to play fair, with winners coming from everywhere, including all running paths as well. |
| Best Play | #1 HAUNTED FLAME (4-1): MSW dropper has chased and tired in two starts, one on a muddy main track sprinting and one routing on turf, so this plunge could wake him up, as could two turns and a good ground-saving post as well. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD Meet: 137-35-17-16 ($1.81/$4.76 through 11/17)
CD POD: 14-1-4-2 ($0.36/$4.36 through 11/17)
