PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  6/12/25 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs  
   
Race number  3 
   
Race overview  A compact but very competitive 80k N2L for fm3up at 6Fs. 
   
Pace  Things look hot and potentially crowded up front, as more than a few want to be involved early, so a stalking style seems preferred. 
   
Trends  The main track was fair and even seemed a tad off-the-pace early in the week then turned a lot speedier and a bit inside on Sunday, after it dried out from Saturday rains. 
   
Best Play  #6 LOW KEY (4-1): Stretch runner may get overlooked because her lone win came at FG in the slop, but that was also her lone start with Lasix, and the flow of today’s race is perfect, not to mention she is dropping out of a two-turn stakes as well. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
