Nadeau: Saratoga Play of the Day Thurs 8.29.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 8/29/24 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 10 |
| Race overview | An extremely deep and competitive renewal of the G3 With Anticipation for 2yos at 1 1/16 miles on the inner turf. |
| Pace | It could be hot and contested, as now only are there more than a few who have shown speed, but there are also a few stretching out as well, and with a quick run to the first turn, things could be quite energetic up front. |
| Trends | There’s really nothing too conclusive to go on, but a firm, fast turf course, tactical speed is never a bad thing. |
| Best Play | #6 REACH FOR THE ROSE (5-1) (turf only): Been waiting for this one to stretch out after the strong closing 2nd in the Royal Palm Juvenile at GP (behind Gabaldon, who was a good 2nd next-out at Royal Ascot), and with all the speed here, and a strong dirt win to say his form is sharp, he should be primed. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 344-91-82-37 ($1.97/$5.79 through 8/25)
Sar POD: 29-10-11-1 ($1.99/$6.98 through 8/25)
