Nadeau: Saratoga Mon 9.2.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 9/2/24 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 6 |
| Race overview | A seemingly modest 2yo NYB MSW at 7Fs. |
| Pace | It figures to be honest, as there are a slew of first-time starters entered, many of which could be a bit keyed up out of the gate. |
| Trends | The main track definitely had a more tempered, fair feel to it this week, as horses were coming from everywhere, including closers on the outside/in the middle of the track. |
| Best Play | #3 OMAHA PISTOL (3-1): Englehart firster goes for a 21% debut barn and has Irad, who is 7-for-13 riding for the barn, and that 8/11 gate drill says there’s some serious talent and possibly precociousness here, and this has the feel of “save the best for last” for Closing Day. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in all the horizontal exotics 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)
