Nadeau: Keeneland Play of the Day Thurs 4.18.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 4/18/24 |
| Featured track | Keeneland |
| Race number | 4 |
| Race overview | A competitive 50k N2L for 3up going 1 1/16 miles to the short stretch finish line on the main track. |
| Pace | It looks honest enough, as there are more than a few who want to be involved early. |
| Trends | The main track continues to be speedy and play to the inside, and at this trip, with the short stretch and finish line, you have to be close early, as horses just don’t make up a lot of ground late. |
| Best Play | #3 CERTIFIED LOVERBOY (3-1): Aqu invader stretches to two turns and ships in for Handal, who rarely does so without intention, and with Prat named, there’s plenty for this class-dropper, who has plenty of tactical speed and versatility to get a good trip. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Kee Meet (through 4/7): 30-7-8-9 ($2.02/$7.56)
Kee POD (through 4/7): 3-0-1-1 (X/$3.75)
