PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 9/28/25
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 6
 
Race overview An uninspiring 30k MCL for 3up at 7 furlongs.
 
Pace It’s a big field of 10, so things should be honest up front, as there are more than a few who want to be close early.
Trends A fast and drying out track was very fair Thursday night, and a fast main track was the same Friday.
Best Play #9 HEPHEPCUTDOWNNETS (7-2): Del Mar invader starts for a Hess barn that has enjoyed plenty of success this year at CD, was facing better out west, drew well with the speed to be close throughout, and sure doesn’t meet much.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet and single to kick off the late Pk5 as well.
