PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 5/10/26
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 6
 
Race overview A solid bottom-level 12.5k MCL for 3up at 7Fs on the main track.
 
Pace It’s a full field and looks honest enough, as there are more than a few who want to be close and/or involved throughout.
Trends The main track seemed to be slightly on the speedy side the first two days of the week, though nothing too out of the ordinary.
Best Play #5 RICHEZTOO (5-1): Pace player was a strong 2nd at the level with a “big” figure, now meets a few who will be overbet on the drop, and seems much more trustworthy based on his recent form.
Bet Types Aggressive WP place bet, and a must-use/potential leverage single in the early middle Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well.
