Play of the Day – July 31st 2021
| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | July 31, 2021 |
| Track | Saratoga |
| Race | 5 |
| Overview | A solid NYB N1X with a newcomer that may be poised to take advantage of the locals. |
| Pace | It looks honest enough, as several want to be involved early, which could set this up for a stalker from midpack. |
| Trends | It’s tough to get a feel for the main track, with so much rain causing an off-surface both Thursday and Friday, so take note of how it plays as it begins to dry out towards the weekend. |
| Best Bet | BEHIND THE COUCH |
| Number | 4 |
| Morning Line | (7-2) |
| Best Bet Overview | #4 BEHIND THE COUCH (7-2): Open runner invades and dips into the NYB ranks, has run big in her last two starts on a fast main track, and should get an honest pace to run into as well. |
| Picks & Plays | Aggressive WP bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, along with the middle Pk5 as well. |
| Stats | 207-44-29-29 ($1.72/$5.06 ROI overall through 7/27) Sar Meet: 41-18-2-5 ($$2.21/$5.20 ROI through 7/27) |
