Nadeau: Keeneland Play of the Day Thurs 4.25.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 4/25/24 |
| Featured track | Keeneland |
| Race number | 8 |
| Race overview | An extremely deep and competitive N1X for 3yofs going 1 1/316 miles on the turf. |
| Pace | It doesn’t look overly fast on paper, as there are no sure confirmed front runners, and at this elongated distance, you would think things are tempered a bit early on as well. |
| Trends | There’s no trends to be had, as they don’t run enough races on the grass, but with the course drying out after a lot of rain, it could play a bit more to speed/tactical types. |
| Best Play | #5 ROYAL WINTOUR (4-1) (turf only): GP invader was stunning breaking through in her MSW last time, in a race that went several ticks faster than the split division, which was won by a Walsh steam horse with a world of talent, and this one’s versatile and tactical style should play well here too. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Kee Meet (through 4/14): 76-19-15-17 ($1.69 /$5.93)
Kee POD (through 4/14): 7-0-2-2 (X/$3.20)
