| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 8/24/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Saratoga – Race 8 |
| Race overview: | A competitive 20k claimer for 3upfm’s going 6 Fs on the main track. |
| Pace: | It looks hot and contested, as there are several here who want to motor early and often. |
| Trends: | The main, which has gotten plenty of use during the meet, continues to play fair, though early speed is always be preferred. |
| Best Play: | #7 Meraviglioso (6-1): Stalker rises a tad in class off the claim for Ryerson, a good horseman who doesn’t reach for many (2-for-13), and that strong 2nd last time for 16k gives him plenty to work with. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| POD/Meet Stats: | Sar Meet Overall (through 8/20: 291-66-59-48 ($1.73/$5.10)
Sar POD (through 8/20): 23-4-5-3 ($1.84/$4.81)
