“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 9/18/26
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 5
 
Race overview A solid 20k conditioned claimer for fm3up at 1-mile.
 
Pace There’s little to none here, so tactical speed seems at a premium, as this should be a tight pack that will sprint off the far turn.
Trends The main track was fair Opening Week, with winners employing all running styles.
Best Play #3 FINAL SHIPMAN (3-1): Stalker will be close early with such a decided lack of pace signed on, and her consistent form should play here, against a group there for the taking.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and in the middle Pk5/Pk4 as well.
