PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  8/2/24 
   
Featured track  Saratoga  
   
Race number  7 
   
Race overview  An extremely weak NYB N1X for 3upfm going 7Fs on the main track. 
   
Pace  It looks honest enough, as there are more than a few who want to be involved early on. 
   
Trends  The main track sped up considerably last 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  #6 MAGGIE T (7-2): Versatile filly is one of just two in here who didn’t run at the level last time and enters off a strong—and fast—2nd against open 20k claimers, which gives her a big leg up here against what is a very, very meek cast. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well.
