PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  10/18/25 
   
Featured track  Keeneland  
   
Race number  6 
   
Race overview  A solid renewal of the G3 Perryville for 3yos at 7Fs on the main. 
   
Pace  There’s plenty here, as more than a few want to be involved early and often, including #5 Captain Cook (6-5). 
   
Trends  The main track continued to very fair during the second week of racing, with winners employing several different running styles.  
   
Best Play  #3 BARNES (5-2): Baffert charge lost to Captain Cook in his comeback in the G1 Jerkens at Sar then got a terribly bad ride in the G2 at Park, when he was last early, so on the switch to J Ortiz he’ll be a lot closer, and that will enable him to get it done late. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the horizonal exotics as well.
