“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 10/9/26
Featured track Keeneland
Race number 6
 
Race overview A solid 25k claimer for 3up at 1 1/16 miles.
 
Pace It looks honest, as there a pair on the inside who want to be forward, as well as a (poorly-drawn) runner on the outside who may have to commit early.
Trends A fast main track was very fair Saturday, with winners employing all different running styles, while Sunday seemed a bit more forward.
Best Play #6 REAL MACHO (2-1): Diodoro claim (21%) stretches to two turns after a close 4th at 1m and gets a major trainer upgrade, and while he’s 0-for-5 at the trip, those came against much better than he’s meeting here, and his stalking style will play too.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single to kick off the late Pk5 as well.
