“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 5/1/26
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 11
Race overview An extremely competitive, albeit relatively modest, renewal of the G1 La Troienne for fm4up at 1 1/16 miles.
Pace It looks honest enough, as there are several who want to be close early, though there are no pure speeds signed on either.
Trends The main track played fair Tuesday (it was muddy Wednesday), though it’s usually speedy and can be inside as well Dery Week, so take note as the days progress—provided the track is fast.
Best Play #9 FULLY SUBSCRIBED (7-2): Brown filly has not been seen since easily winning a pair of Aqueduct graded stakes against 3yofs (with figures as good as anyone here)last fall, so this is an ambitious spot to return, but she’s trained big, has more upside than anyone here, and seems like the right fresh new face.
Bet Types Aggressive WP place bet, and a must-use/potential leverage single inn all the horizontal exotics offered (including the two-day wagers).
