Date  7/31/24 
   
Featured track  Saratoga  
   
Race number  4 
   
Race overview  A solid NYB N1X for 4up going 1 1/8 miles on the main track. 
   
Pace  Very few of these figure to appreciate the trip, so things should be on the slow side early, at a distance that routinely caters to speed. 
   
Trends  The main track sped up considerably on Wednesday-Friday, as it was extremely difficult to pass, but things tempered dramatically on Saturday and Sunday, so pay close attention early in the week. 
   
Best Play  #5 TOSCANO (3-1): Stretchout sprinter is bred top and bottom for this trip, has show heavy speed at one turn, and should control things from the outset at this trip. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
