PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  5/30/24 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs 
   
Race number  3 
   
Race overview  A deep and competitive 32k claimer for 4up going 1 1/16 miles on the main track. 
   
Pace  Pace makes the race and there’s plenty of it here, especially on the outside and from some key contenders too, so there’s a chance this falls apart in the lane. 
   
Trends  The main track has been remarkably consistent all meet, with few, if any path biases, and all running styles having a fair go of it more often than not. 
   
Best Play  #4 MASTER GAME (7-2): Stretch runner didn’t like the 1 ½ miles of late but will like the cutback, and his running style looks perfect for what should be a hot and contested pace. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
