PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 4/26/26
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 9
 
Race overview An extremely deep and competitive N1X for fm3up at 1 1/16 miles on the turf.
 
Pace There’s none here, with the glaring exception of #3 BRILLIANTLY (3-1), who looks loose as can be.
Trends The CD turf can be unpredictable, in terms of what kinds of horses take to it or not, but on the whole, it plays fair.
Best Play #3 BRILLIANTLY (3-1) (turf only): Baffert invader wired at this trip in her only start on turf at SA, and while that’s a speedy course, she gets all the best of it here with no one to oppose here early.
Bet Types Aggressive WP place bet, and single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
