PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 5/9/26
Featured track Churchill Downs
Race number 4
 
Race overview A strong 40k claimer for 4up at 1-mile on the main track.
 
Pace There’s absolutely none here except 6 I DON’T GET IT (9-5), who looks as loose as can be on the front end.
Trends Derby Week seemed to produce a fair main track, with horses coming from everywhere, and using all running styles.
Best Play #6 I DON’T GET IT (9-5): The speed has been freshened since an easy 35k win at GP, so it’s a confident move he rises slightly for his return, he lures Irad, and has a tremendous race flow edge on all them, many who are one-run closers.
Bet Types Aggressive WP place bet, and single in the early Pk5/Pk4, and middle Pk5/Pk4 as well.
