| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | September 30, 2022 |
| Track | Churchill Downs |
| Race | 2 |
| Overview | A decent 50k claimer for 3yos, though it looks like #5 BLUE KENTUCKY (5-1) has a distinctive class edge. |
| Pace | There’s not a ton here, so expect a bunched field and a sprint at the end, which means tactical speed is a bonus. |
| Trends | The main track really seemed to tilt towards stalker/closers over the weekend, which is worth keeping an eye on as they come back for another five-day race week. |
| Best Bet | BLUE KENTUCKY |
| Number | 5 |
| Morning Line | (5-1) |
| Best Bet Overview | #5 BLUE KENTUCKY (5-1): Class dropper and turf-to-dirt runner has been facing better, and his recent dirt races make him the one to beat, from a perfect outside attack post as well. |
| Picks & Plays | WP bet at 3-1 or better while getting some added value by singling in the early Pk5, and to kick off the early Pk4 as well. |
| Stats | CD POD: 9-1-1-3 ($1.40/$4.26) CD Overall: 87-18-15-12 ($1.73/$5.16) |
