Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Thurs 5.23.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 5/23/24 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 1 |
| Race overview | A competitive 50k N2L for 3upfm going 1-mile on the main track. |
| Pace | There’s not a lot here, and these one-turn mile races can get strung out a bit, so they usually play to speed, as it’s tough to make up ground when you get to the far turn. |
| Trends | The main track seemed to play a bit forward last week, though nothing too out of the ordinary. |
| Best Play | #3 MITOLE’S LEGACY (4-1): Pace player should be on or just off the early lead, which will flatter her chances, for a Bush barn that has a win off the claim, and that 2nd last time was a solid first start against winners as well. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single to kick off the early Pk5 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | CD POD: 11-2-2-1 ($1.61/$4.43)
