PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  7/19/24 
   
Featured track  Saratoga  
   
Race number  9 
   
Race overview  A relatively modest entry-level allowance for 3upfm going 1 1/16 miles on the inner turf. 
   
Pace  There’s really none here, so expect a bunched group, and a race that will likely turn into a sprint off the far turn. 
   
Trends  N/A 
   
Best Play  #5 CHILD OF THE MOON (4-1) (turf only): Brown newcomer hasn’t been out since a 7-length maiden win in France some 13 months ago, but she returns with Lasix and Prat, for a barn that always has them ready, and note her more accomplished stablemate (#10 Root Cause) has her own October layoff to deal with, and drew much poorer too. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet, strong EX over #10 with a smaller backup underneath, and a must-use/potential leverage single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
