Nadeau: Churchill Play of the Day Wed 6.11.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 6/11/25 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 2 |
| Race overview | A solid 40k claimer for 4up at 1-mile on the main track. |
| Pace | There’s no one here who can run with #4 El Rey Dorado (7-2), which means he should be able to clear on the front, especially since several who are entered are two-turn routers with no speed at all. |
| 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 | #4 EL REY DORADO (7-2): Expected Lone F cleared going two turns at OP but couldn’t see it out when 2nd, so on the cutback to a one-turn mile this should be a perfect fit. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5, and to kick off the early Pk4 as well. |

CD Meet: 20-6-1-3 ($1.42/$4.67 ROI through 6/1)
