Nadeau: Ky Downs Play of the Day Thurs 9.4.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 9/4/25 |
| Featured track | Kentucky Downs |
| Race number | 7 |
| Race overview | A modest (for the track/condition) AOC for fm3up at 1-mile. |
| Pace | It looks honest, as there are a few who want to be close, though they won’t be going too quickly, so tactical speed seems a must. |
| Trends | Last year it was all speed all the time, but things have tempered this year, and with the rails at 25’, it should be a level playing field. |
| Best Play | #9 MALLEYMOO (7-2): Brown charge was a fine 3rd off a trainer switch and long layoff last time at Sar and has experience here, so you figure this was the plan all along, which means she’s primed for a big breakthrough with that tightener behind her. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in all the horizontal exotics as well. |
