“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 5/7/26
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 2
Race overview A solid 25k claimer for 4up at 1-mile on the main track.
Pace There’s not much here, at this is a trip that can be tough to make up ground, so tactical speed should be at a premium.
Trends Derby Week seemed to produce a fair main track, with horses coming from everywhere, and using all running styles.
Best Play #6 DE’ MEDICI (2-1): Tactical runner aired at this trip here in November and will now run on the main for the first time, and has a huge flow edge over his two main (ML) rivals (#1 and #7), who are deep one-run closers with no speed at all.
Bet Types Aggressive WP place bet, and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
