Nadeau: Saratoga Sun 9.1.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 9/1/24 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 3 |
| Race overview | An deep and competitive N1X for 3up at 5 ½ Fs on the Mellon turf. |
| Pace | It’s a turf sprint, so things should be hot and contested up front, as several entered want to be involved early. |
| Trends | There’s really nothing too conclusive to go on, but a firm, fast turf course, tactical speed is never a bad thing. |
| Best Play | #6 DETERMINED EFFORT (7-2) (turf only): Been waiting for this one to come back after a breathtaking debut win at GP, where he basically didn’t even run for more than 20-30 yards, yet still won for fun, and while the layoff and facing winners are hurdles, he has the look of a serious talent, and Irad was up for the debut win too. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the middle Pk5 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)
