“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                        Date  10/26/2022      Featured track  Keeneland       Race number  5      Race overview  A seemingly very weak MSW for 3up fms going 1-mile on the turf.       Pace  There are a slew of deep closers here, so tactical speed should play, especially since there’s no confirmed front runners entered either.      Trends  N/A       Best Play  #7 RED RIVER MAIGC (5-2) (turf only): Stretch out sprinter was a strong stalking 2nd in her turf bow last time, is bred to relish the added ground/turn she gets, and her tactical speed sprinting could…

VENKMAN (7-2) pressing him the entire way.      Trends  The main track continues to be on the fair side, and even tilted a bit towards stalker/closers over the weekend.       Best Play  #5 DR. VENKMAN (7-2): Southern California…

“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau Date 10/20/2022 Featured track Keeneland Race number 6   Race overview A strong 10k starter-allowance going 1 1/8 miles on the main track.   Pace For this elongated trip, it seems very honest, as there are ore than a few who want to be involved early. Trends The main track continues to be on the fair side, and even tilted a bit towards stalker/closers over the weekend.   Best Play #4 Nepal Up (4-1): Stretch runner just-missed to #3 Tiger Moon (3-1) last time while well clear of 3rd, and the flow today, not to mention the extra half-furlong, should help…
