Nadeau: Play of the Day CD Sat 9.20.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 9/20/25 |
| Featured track | Churchill Downs |
| Race number | 9 |
| Race overview | A strong renewal of the G3 Dogwood for 3yofs at 7 furlongs. |
| Pace | It looks honest enough, as both #1 Echo Sound (9-5) and #8 Mega Mil (20-1) want to motor early. |
| Trends | A fast main track has played very fair when it’s been fast, including Wednesday and Thursday, with winners coming from everywhere. |
| Best Play | #4 RAGTIME (2-1): Another terrible ML, as she just drubbed #1 in the G1 Test at Saratoga when 2nd by a neck, and this filly still has upside, drew better, and will love the long CD stretch as well—for Derby winning connections too. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive win bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4, which will allow for more coverage in the surrounding legs, which are much tougher. |
