Play of the Day – May 22nd 2022
| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | May 22, 2022 |
| Track | Churchill Downs |
| Race | 9 |
| Overview | A wide, wide open 75k MCL’er with several who come out of the MSW ranks. |
| Pace | There looks to be plenty here, as several have shown speed in the past, so expect a contested pace. |
| Trends | The main track tilted towards speed over the past week, though nothing too out of the norm. |
| Best Bet | SMARTY JOHN |
| Number | 5 |
| Morning Line | (5-1) |
| Best Bet Overview | #5 SMARTY JOHN (5-1): Foley claim actually rises in class, which is a confident sign, especially since several here are dropping from the MSW ranks, and this is not a barn that claims many (2-9), which is another added appeal. |
| Picks & Plays | WPS bet and a must-use/potential bold single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Stats | CD Meet (POD): 10-4-1-1 ($4.12/$7.54 through 5/15) CD Meet (overall): 104-36-19-12 ($1.99/$6.00 through 5/15) |
