PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau

Date 4/4/26

Featured track Keeneland

Race number 10

Race overview A deep and competitive renewal of the G2 Shakertown for 3up at 5 ½ furlongs on turf.

Pace It’s a full field, with several who want to be on or the pace or pressing it, so expect them to fly early.

Trends Obviously it’s only Opening Weekend, but this is a course that can have some give to it and won’t be as speedy as a GP or SA, so stalkers/closers that had little to no chance there, can be used here.

Best Play #8 LITIGATION (4-1) (turf only): Lynch runner wowed in his last two at GP, rolling home late over a course that isn’t conducive to his stalking/closing style, and while he meets tougher today, the pace/course are going to be perfect for him.

Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single in all the horizontal exotics as well.
