Nadeau: Saratoga Play of the Day Sunday 8.13.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 8/13/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Saratoga – Race 9 |
| Race overview: | A solid, albeit unspectacular AOC for 3up going 7Fs on the main. |
| Pace: | It looks honest and competitive, as more than a few want to be involved early, which means a stalker could have a big say late. |
| Trends: | The main track has been on the fair side all meet, though as a general rule, you want to have tactical speed sprinting, as races rarely fall apart in the lane. |
| Best Play: | #8 CANDY TYCOON (4-1): Know this GP invader quite well, and he can run, and now today gets a monumental trainer switch to Jacobson, who immediately cuts him back (where he’ll stalk the pace) and reaches for Irad, which says it’s go time. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| POD/Meet Stats: | Sar POD: 17-3-4-1 ($1.54 /$4.24)
Sar Meet Overall: 191-43-40-32 ($1.68/$5.07) |
