Play of the Day

We'll split up $50 in wagering funds among three different bets, two of which are trifectas.

Fans need to spend $6 to hit the first race trifecta. Key Paddy's Punk on top of a boxed field that also includes Parklane Ragtime, He's My Secret, and Huskerlover.

A $1 trifecta in the sixth race will cost us $24 to hit. To cash in, box Parisian's Pride, Buckland Hollow, Clever Contract, and Humble Guy.

In the eighth race, we'll bet $20 to win on Confederate Bond, a Louisiana shipper and former Keeneland September sale purchase who looks awful tough in her Nebraska debut. The Broken Vow filly has enough speed to dictate the pace and is also capable of gaining command late.

* Starting balance: $1,500

* Last Sunday's result: We lost a $26 win ticket as Music Legend finished second in race two. However, we did manage to hit a trifecta for $38.20 in race seven on a ticket that cost us $24. In all, we lost $11.80 for the day.

* Current balance: $1,659.10

Monk's Exotic Play of the Day

We like The Straw Man to win the fifth race and we'll bet accordingly. First of all, play a $1 trifecta key with The Straw Man over C.O. Storm, Folomagic, Triage and Foolish Raja. Then play a $1 pick-3: The Straw Man with Clever Contact and Buckland Hollow with Super Scene, Jacques Time, Bryson's Bullet and Widor.

* Starting balance: $700

* Last Sunday's result: We made a profit of $21.20. Our $1 trifecta in the sixth with Sweetpike on top didn't quite pan out, but our $4 execta box with winner Suresmellspretty and Sweetpike returned $41.20.

* Current balance: $787
