PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  7/27/24 
   
Featured track  Saratoga  
   
Race number  3 
   
Race overview  An extremely deep and competitive 25k claimer for 4up going 7Fs on the main track. 
   
Pace  It doesn’t look overly hot early, as there are no true burners, so having tactical speed, at the vey least (see below), is preferred. 
   
Trends  The main track sped up considerably on Wednesday and Thursday, as it was extremely difficult to pass. 
   
Best Play  #1a AMUNDSON (3-1): Streaking runner has won three straight and took his game to another level in his win last time, and while a bounce is possible, his post, pace-pressing style, and overall form say it’s simply onward and upward. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
