Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Thurs 5.2.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 5/2/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 5 |
| Race overview | An extremely weak MSW for 3up going 1 1/16 miles on the turf. |
| Pace | There’s not much on paper, though it is a big field, but regardless, #4 ROCKY JOY (4-1) figures to be on or just off the early lead in his first two-turn start after dueling sprinting last time. |
| Trends | N/A |
| Best Play | #4 ROCKY JOY (4-1) (turf only): Son of Kitten’s Joy is bred to love the lawn and two turns, and he gets both for the first time here, while facing a group as weak as you will ever see at this level. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and in the R4 Pk5 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD Meet: 10-4-2-1 ($2.49/$6.13)
CD POD: 1-0-0-0
