“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                        Date:  7/2/2023      Featured Track/Race:   Ellis Park – Race 1      Race overview:  A meek 50k N2L for f/ms sprinting 6Fs on the main, with very few who have the form to win.       Pace:  There’s none here, aside from #5 EMPIRE OF MY OWNA (3-1), who should shake loose early over a track that has played to her kind.      Trends:  It’s now painfully obvious that there is as intense an inside rail bias on the main track that has been seen in quite some time, as countless winners have wired on the…

“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                        Date:  7/1/2023      Featured Track/Race:   Ellis Park – Race 11      Race overview:  A solid renewal of the Tepin, for 3yof going 1-mile on turf.       Pace:  It’s pretty cut and dried, as #3 Heavenly Sunday (5-2) will carve out the splits, with #5 XIGERA (2-1) spying her from the outside.      Trends:  N/A: They just haven’t run enough turf races to get any definitive feel, not to mention they’ve been forced OFF of late as well.       Best Play:  #5 XIGERA (2-1) (turf only): Classy 2yo toyed with a group of older…

“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                        Date:  6/29/2023      Featured Track/Race:   Ellis Park – Race 8      Race overview:  A deep and competitive AOC at 1 1/8 miles on the main for f/ms.       Pace:  I’m expecting #4 MAGIC BUBBLES (6-1) to control things early, as she had a disadvantageous outside post last time and got caught dueling with #5 She’s Lookin Lucky (3-1) last time, but drew much better here, and after frying the latter, you’d think that miss won’t want to get caught up with her again early here.      Trends:  It’s now painfully obvious that there is…
