Play of the Day – August 25th 2022
| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | August 25, 2022 |
| Track | Saratoga |
| Race | 7 |
| Overview | A typically loaded N!X allowance route going 1 3/16 miles on turf, that could go any number of different ways, with a field that all look eerily similar on paper. |
| Pace | Don’t expect much heat up front, especially in this day and age on the NYRA circuit where everyone takes back, which means this will likely be a bunched sprint off the far turn. |
| Trends | The wider turns on the Mellon will help the stalker/closers, especially since they’ll likely be winding up off the far turn. |
| Best Bet | THE GREY WIZARD |
| Number | 7 |
| Morning Line | (6-1) |
| Best Bet Overview | #7 THE GREY WIZARD (6-1) (turf only): Laurel invader likely needed his Motion/U.S. debut but ran huge regardless, with plenty of trouble, and you have to think this was the spot in mind all along. |
| Picks & Plays | Aggressive WPS bet and a leverage single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well, as that will allow for more coverage in the surrounding legs. |
| Stats | Sar POD: 28-1-4-2 ($1.29/$3.81 ROI through 8/21) Sar Meet: 296-69-53-41 ($1.61/$4.98 ROI through 8/21) |
