“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 4/12/26
Featured track Keeneland
Race number 8
 
Race overview A relatively modest MSW for 3ys at 7 furlongs.
 
Pace It looks honest on paper, as more than a few want to be close and involved early on.
Trends A fast main track was a bit forward early in the week but very fair on Friday, with winners coming from everywhere.
Best Play #8 CIVIL LIBERTY (5-2): O’Neill runner came back off a five-month layoff and just-missed by a neck to a potential Baffert star (who returned to win by the length of the stretch and is eying the Preakness), drew perfectly, and meets a field he should dominate.
Bet Types Aggressive win, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
