Nadeau: Saratoga Play of the Day Sun 8.6.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 8/6/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Saratoga – Race 8 |
| Race overview: | A relatively iffy renewal of the G3 Adirondack for 2yo fillies, who now stretch out to 6 ½ furlongs, where the precociousness wears off a bit, and you really have to earn it. |
| Pace: | It should be honest, as there are more than a few here who want to be involved early, especially because they stretch out too. |
| Trends: | The main track has been on the fair side all meet, tough as a general rule, you want to have tactical speed sprinting, as races rarely fall apart in the lane. |
| Best Play: | #9 COPPER EM (9-2): Upset Ellis debut winner was awesome, with a monster gallop-out too, which suggests the added ground will be right up her alley, and this outside attack post works too. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| POD/Meet Stats: | Sar POD: 12-3-3-1 ($2.18/$5.70)
Sar Meet Overall: 143-31-28-32 ($1.54/$4.93) |
