PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  10/17/25 
   
Featured track  Keeneland  
   
Race number  4 
   
Race overview  A seemingly watered down MSW for 2yofs at 5 ½ Fs on the turf. 
   
Pace  It’s a full field, with some experienced runners who have shown speed, so things look honest up front. 
   
Trends  They don’t run enough turf races to get a real feel, but a firm course, especially at this distance, typically plays to speed types. 
   
Best Play  #2 LION LAKE (5-2) (turf only): Walsh filly figures primed for a white-hot barn after stalking hot splits at 1m in her debut at KD, and note she was bet hard (7-2) that day in a full field, so clearly she’s held in high regard. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
