Nadeau: Play of the Day Fri 5.26.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 5/26/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Churchill Downs – Race 9 |
| Race overview: | A solid 30k claimer routing at 1 1/16 miles on the main. |
| Pace: | This almost looks like a turf race on paper, as there’s very little speed, so expect them to go slow early and sprint off the far turn. |
| Trends: | With the exception of Saturday’s drying out track (which typically always play to off-the-pace types), the main track was playing to speed throughout the week. |
| Best Play: | #3 COASTAL DEFENSE (2-1): Class dropper goes for a white-hot Romans barn and had a brutal trip last time as well, which all points to being mighty tough against this reduced group. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single to end late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Meet/POD Stats: | CD Meet: 122-18-19-12 ($1.47/$4.32 ROI through 5/21)
CD POD: 12-2-3-0 ($1.77/$4.73 ROI through 5/21)
