PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  8/25/24 
   
Featured track  Saratoga  
   
Race number  3 
   
Race overview  A compact AOC for NYBs 3up at 7Fs on the main track.  
   
Pace  There’s basically none here, so expect a tight pack that will sprint off the far turn. 
   
Trends  There’s not much to go on, as the track has been in and out, condition-wise, on a daily basis, so continue to monitor the weather and how things are playing early on the card/in the week. 
   
Best Play  #3 BOURBON CHASE (2-1): Maker returnee has been freshened since February and goes off a trainer change, for a barn that has been having a banner meet, which means this guy is likely cranked for his best, which would be more than these can handle. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
