Nadeau: Saratoga Play of the Day Sun 8.11.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 8/11/24 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 9 |
| Race overview | A very strong 25k N3L for 3up at 7Fs on the main track. |
| Pace | There’s plenty here, if it all stays intact, so having a stalking gear seems imperative. |
| Trends | There’s not much to go on here, as they canceled Friday amid heavy rains, so pay close attention Saturday to see how the main track could be playing. |
| Best Play | #5 ANTHRACITE (8-1): Stalker goes off-the-claim for Rice, a potent 24% move, has solid back form, goes second-off the layoff, and meets a potentially very sketchy and vulnerable favorite (#10), which only adds to the appeal. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WPS bet and a must-use/potential single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 196-53-43-19 ($2.02/$5.73)
Sar POD: 16-5-6-0 ($1.58/$6.04)
