PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 5/28/26
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 5
 
Race overview An extremely strong 20k starter-allowance for 4up at 1 1/8 miles.
 
Pace It looks very honest, and potentially fast and contested, as there are several entered who want to be close and vying early.
Trends The main track sped up Sunday, with all winners coming from 12st or 2nd early, so make sure to follow things early in the week.
Best Play #9 CAROLO RAPIDO (9-2): Well-drawn veteran has been in good form for a few different barns of late, now goes off-the-claim for Norm Casses (13%), which is a big trainer switch, and he has the stalking style to take advantage of the potentially honest pace.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well.
