Nadeau: Saratoga Play of the Day Sat 8.12.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 8/12/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Saratoga – Race 10 |
| Race overview: | A wildly deep and competitive 50k starter-allowance for 3up going 1-mile on the main. |
| Pace: | It looks hot and contested, as there are more than a few who want to be involved early and often, which means a stalking gear will come in handy. |
| Trends: | The main track has been on the fair side all meet, though as a general rule, you want to have tactical speed sprinting, as races rarely fall apart in the lane. |
| Best Play: | #1 GUT FEELING (5-1): Dutrow newcomer gets a huge trainer switch and has been freshened for this too, which means he’s been with his new barn for a bit, and the fact Saez is named says there’re intent here, and this post, and his 9F speed says he’ll trip out too. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| POD/Meet Stats: | Sar POD: 17-3-4-1 ($1.54 /$4.24)
Sar Meet Overall: 191-43-40-32 ($1.68/$5.07) |
