Nadeau: Saratoga Play of the Day Sat 8.24.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 8/24/24 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 12 |
| Race overview | An absolutely sterling renewal of the G1 H. Allen Jerkens for 3yos going 7Fs on the main track. |
| Pace | It looks like #1 World Record (8-1) should be leading, but there are a trio of others who want to chase, and this is a race that traditionally throws down wild splits. |
| Trends | There’s not much to go on, as the track has been in and out, condition-wise, on a daily basis, so continue to monitor the weather and how things are playing early on the card/in the week. |
| Best Play | #3 DOMESTIC PRODUCT (9-2): Brown runner cut back in the G3 Dwyer and laughed at an overmatched field, and while the waters are MUCH deeper here, he has that blend of tactical speed and stamina that can be lethal in a race like this, and should relish that seventh furlong, when more than a few others will be getting weary. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in all the horizontal exotics. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 288-72-70-29 ($1.86/$5.62 through 8/18)
Sar POD: 25-8-10-1 ($1.65/$6.48 through 8/18)
