Nadeau: Play of the Day KEE 10.24.26
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | ||
| Date | 10/24/26 | |
| Featured track | Keeneland | |
| Race number | 10 | |
| Race overview | A strong OC 125k/N2X for 3up at 1 1/8 miles on the main track. | |
| Pace | Simply put, there’s none on paper, or at least no one who has shown a desire to be on the lead, so at this demanding trip, expect things to be slow early and turn into a sprint off the far turn. | |
| Trends | A fast main track Wednesday and Thursday led to a very fair racing surface, with several winners coming from off-the-pace as well. | |
| Best Play | #1 SASSMASTER (2-1): Lightly-raced Pletcher 3yo was a good 3rd trying stakes foes in the G1 Pa. Derby and still has a world of upside with just four lifetime starts, so from the perfect draw, with Lasix added back, and the tactical speed to be close (or lead) throughout, he looks poised for a breakthrough. | |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. | |
