PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau

Date 5/17/26

Featured track Churchill Downs

Race number 8

Race overview A very strong OC (80k)/N2X for fm3up at 7 furlongs.

Pace There’s none here that should be a bother to #2 ME AND MOLLY MCGEE (5-2), who has shown high sprint speed in her career.

Trends The main track continued to play on the fair side during the first to racing days of the week, with winners coming from everywhere.

Best Play #2 ME AND MOLLY MCGEE (5-2): Stiff class dropper has been freshened since a good 2nd in an SA G2, is the controlling speed, and simply looks better and faster than this solid group.

Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
