“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  6/26/25 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs  
   
Race number  5 
    
Race overview  An extremely deep and competitive 40k claimer for 4up at 1 1/16 miles on the main track. 
    
Pace  It looks hot and contested, as more than a few want to be involved early on. 
   
Trends  The track continues to play fair, with winners coming from all over, though a drying out main track can play to outside stalker/closers. 
   
Best Play  #1 DEAN MARTINI (7-2): Veteran used to be a speedster but has developed a stalking gear in his older age, and that will come in handy here, as will his class drop, and cozy ground-saving post. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well. 
   
Play of the Day Winners  CD POD: 29-9-1-8 ($1.68/$5.18 ROI through 6/22)
