Play of the Day Race Date August 19, 2022 Track Saratoga Race 3 Overview A compact AOC going long on the main track, with several different winning possibilities. Pace It’s tough to figure in these dirt routes, as it’s often left up to the jockeys, who seem to wrangle back their speed horses, but on paper, the pace looks honest in here. Trends The main track has continued to play fair throughout the majority meet, and continued to do so last week, though being close is always preferred. Best Bet GALERIO Number 1 Morning Line (3-1) Best Bet Overview #1 GALERIO (3-1): Cash claim (12%) has some solid…

Play of the Day Race Date August 18, 2022 Track Saratoga Race 7 Overview A modest 35k N3L sprinting on the turf, with few who meet the winning criteria, at least with their recent form. Pace It doesn’t look overly heated, so you better be close early, especially sprinting this snappy 5 ½ furlongs. Trends Turf sprints rarely fall apart in the lane, and the middle posts tend to be best, and with little speed here, coming from too far back won’t be a recipe for success.

Play of the Day Race Date August 17, 2022 Track Saratoga Race 8 Overview A relatively modest NYB N1X going a mile on main. Pace It doesn’t look overly heated, so tactical speed is a must, especially since it will be a sprint off the far turn. Trends The main track has continued to play fair throughout the majority meet, and continued to do so last week, though being close is always preferred. Best Bet MIA BEA STAR Number 6 Morning Line (N/A) Best Bet Overview #6 MIA BEA STAR (N/A): Stalker did well to draw outside here, and the drop from a tough 25k starter will help,…

Play of the Day Race Date August 14, 2022 Track Saratoga Race 4 Overview A deep and competitive 50k claimer sprinting on the main with several different ways to go, and a potentially vulnerable favorite in #2 Cost Basis (7-5), who has been off since April and now drops. Pace It doesn’t look overly heated, so tactical speed (at the very least) should be part of the package. Trends The main track has continued to play fair throughout the majority meet, and continued to do so last week, though being close is always preferred. Best Bet EBBEN Number 6 Morning Line (6-1) Best Bet Overview #6 EBBEN (6-1):…

Play of the Day Race Date June 19, 2022 Track Churchill Downs Race 9 Overview A solid MSW for FMs going a mile, in a field where several have shown talent, though #1 SUNNY RIVER (7-2) has the biggest upside, and room for improvement. Pace It doesn’t look overly hot, but it should be honest, as there are a few here stretching out from quick sprints, which means they’ll be closer early. Trends Inside speed was strong all last week, so keep a close eye on the proceedings, especially since every race is on dirt now. Best Bet SUNNY RIVER Number 1 Morning Line (7-2) Best Bet Overview…

Play of the Day Race Date June 18, 2022 Track Churchill Downs Race 6 Overview A deep 10k starter-allowance that has several win candidates, which mean seeking out some value is imperative.

Best Bet CRIME SPREE Number 6 Morning Line (6-1) Best Bet Overview #6 CRIME SPREE (6-1): Stalker has been in good form of late and will love the pace, as he should be able to settle and get…

Play of the Day Race Date June 17, 2022 Track Churchill Downs Race 8 Overview A strong F/M N1X sprint that could go any number of different ways. Pace It looks supersonic, as several in here want to be involved early and often, so expect this one to come apart in the lane. Trends Inside speed was strong all last week, so keep a close eye on the proceedings, especially since every race is on dirt now. Best Bet PATHETIQUE Number 3 Morning Line (6-1) Best Bet Overview #3 PATHETIQUE (6-1): Stalker will love all the pace she’ll get up front and it’s pretty apparent now that Bauer,…
