PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  11/5/25 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs  
   
Race number  7 
   
Race overview  A competitive 100k MCL for 2yo at 1 1/16 miles. 
   
Pace  There’s very little here, even with several stretching out, so being able to lay close early seems important. 
   
Trends  A fast main track (it was sloppy Weds/Thurs) played to speed Saturday but was fairer Sunday, even playing to off-the-pace types. 
   
Best Play  #6 FLAMING RAINBOW (7-2): Stretchout sprinter chased and tired on debut in a 7F MSW at Keen, so he should be close early, takes the biggest drop in racing, and looks primed for McPeek, who is 18% with second-out maidens. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
