Play of the Day – July 23rd 2021
| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | July 23, 2021 |
| Track | Saratoga |
| Race | 7 |
| Overview | A robust field of 16K N2L’s and a heavy favorite in #10 Air Show (8-5), who hits hard, but doesn’t have to win either. |
| Pace | There appears to be plenty here, especially on the outside, which could hurt #10 Air Show (8-5), while potentially flattering #1 FOREST SPIRIT (10-1). |
| Trends | Tactical speed, as per usual, has been extremely important, with very few winners coming from off the pace early in the meet. |
| Best Bet | FOREST SPIRIT |
| Number | 1 |
| Morning Line | (10-1) |
| Best Bet Overview | #1 FOREST SPIRIT (10-1): Tactical sort drops from the NYB N1X ranks, has the right running style to be close enough, but also off the expected hot and contested pace, and ran well enough against winners to suggest he’s got a forward move coming in here. |
| Picks & Plays | WPS bet, EXBX with #10, and a must-use in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well. |
| Stats | 202-43-28-29 ($1.75/$5.10 ROI overall through 7/21) Sar Meet: 41-18-2-5 ($3.57/$6.50 ROI through 7/21) |
