Nadeau: Keeneland Play of the Day Wed 4.10.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 4/10/24 |
| Featured track | Keeneland |
| Race number | 7 |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive AOC for 3yos going to the short stretch finish line at 1 1/16 miles. |
| Pace | There’s no real speed here, which means the comebacking
#5 ROCKETEER (7-2) could shake loose early, over a distance/layout that plays to this kind. |
| Trends | The main track was speedy and inside Opening Weekend, as very few horses came from too far off the pace, and at this short stretch/finish line trip, it can be that much more potent. |
| Best Play | #5 ROCKETEER (7-2): Local debut winner hasn’t been seen since that sharp 4-length score in October, but he’s been working big for this, is bred to relish the two turns, and looks to be the controlling speed on the stretchout as well. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single to end the late 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)
