PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  9/16/26 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs   
   
Race number  6 
   
Race overview  A solid 16k conditioned claimer for fm3up at 6 furlongs. 
   
Pace  It’s a full field, with more than a few first-time starters, so things figure to be honest up front. 
   
Trends  It looks hot and contested, as there are several who want to be on or just off the early lead, which means this could fall apart late. 
   
Best Play  #4 MODERN SOUND (3-1): Stretch runner was OK running two turns on turf but has been better at one on Tapeta, and has run well in both dirt starts, so he looks primed with a positive flow. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well.
