Play of the Day – August 28th, 2022
| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | August 28, 2022 |
| Track | Saratoga |
| Race | 8 |
| Overview | An absolutely sterling renewal of the G1 Ballerina, with several who not only bring winning credentials, but championship ones as well. |
| Pace | This is a legitimate G1 sprint, and there’s legitimate G1 speed entered, so things should be hot and contested early. |
| Trends | The track has been a tricky read this week, especially with the heavy rains on Friday, so monitoring it Travers Day, as well as early on this card, would prove beneficial. |
| Best Bet | OBLIGATORY |
| Number | 2 |
| Morning Line | (7-2) |
| Best Bet Overview | #2 OBLIGATORY (7-2): G1 winner has never disappointed as the POD, going 2-for-2 with wins at 17-1 and 7-2, and if they’re going to give us that price here we’ll be betting hard, as she had zero chance last time and still run well, and the pace scenario will be night and day different today, at a 7F trip she relishes. |
| Picks & Plays | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Stats | Sar POD: 28-1-4-2 ($1.29/$3.81 ROI through 8/21) Sar Meet: 296-69-53-41 ($1.61/$4.98 ROI through 8/21) |
