PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  8/8/24 
   
Featured track  Saratoga  
   
Race number  8 
   
Race overview  An extremely deep and competitive 40k claimer for 4up at 6Fs on the main track. 
   
Pace  It looks honest enough, as there are more than a few who want to be involved up front, which suggest this could tilt towards a stalker. 
   
Trends  The main track was all over the place last week, as it rained on and off, and did so again on Wednesday, so pay close attention as the week moves on. 
   
Best Play  #9 RADICAL RIGHT (7-2): CD invader now goes to Rice, who is 24% with newcomers in the barn, and she’s been able to put three works into this veteran as well, on the heels of a better-than-it-looks 5th against tons better in a very key race at CD. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and a leverage single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
