Nadeau: SAR Play of the Day Thurs 8.1.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 8/1/24 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 7 |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive 25k starter-allowance for 4up at 1 1/8 miles on the main track. |
| Pace | There’s not much here, so expect things to be slow early and turn into a sprint off the far turn. |
| 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 | #3 ON A SPREE (2-1): CD invader aired at this trip last time to make it two straight in decisive fashion, and while the waters are deeper here, the Kentucky invaders have enjoyed a fine start to the meet, so this really shouldn’t be viewed as much of a class rise. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 145-38-34-13 ($1.90/$5.69)
Sar POD: 11-3-4-0 ($1.34/$5.76)
