“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 9/26/25
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 8
 
Race overview A modest 80k N2L claimer for 3up at 1-mile on the main track.
 
Pace It looks honest, as #3 wants to be in front, and #2 just wired to break his maiden, so he should be forwardly placed too.
Trends A fast main track continued to play very fair throughout the week, with winners coming from everywhere.
Best Play #1 ESCALATION CLAUSE (9-2): Former Brown runner is now with a Delaware Park-based Compton barn that is 20% on the year, and the fact he ships here for a big purse off a layoff approaching a year, says he’s primed and ready to roll.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
