Nadeau: Ellis Park Play of the Day Fri 6.23.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 6/23/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Ellis Park – Race 7 |
| Race overview: | An extremely deep and competitive N1X sprinting 5 ½ furlongs on the turf, with a full field of 10 entered. |
| Pace: | It’s a turf sprint, so there will be plenty of heat up front, especially since there are a slew of dirt runners trying to the surface for the first time. |
| Trends: | They just aren’t running enough turf races to distinguish anything. |
| Best Play: | #3 COUNTERSTRIKE (10-1) (turf only): Stalker endured a wide trip last time but was still beaten in a photo, catches a group filled with dirt runners who are unproven on the surface, and should trip out nicely off all the speed as well. |
| Bet Types: | WPS bet and a must-use/potential leverage single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | ElP POD: 4-1-1-0 $1.18/$3.89
