| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | September 01, 2022 |
| Track | Saratoga |
| Race | 8 |
| Overview | A very deep 32k claimer with several different ways to go, which means looking for value seems imperative. |
| Pace | There seems to be enough here to make things fair, as no one looks poised to clear off and control things. |
| Trends | The main track, on a whole, has been fair throughout the meet, with very few days where there’s been a bias, especially in terms of running paths. |
| Best Bet | MELTING SNOW |
| Number | 4 |
| Morning Line | (5-1) |
| Best Bet Overview | #4 MELTING SNOW (5-1): Capable sort adds blinkers for a bit more early focus, and more importantly, goes off the claim for Miceli, which is a 32% move, for a barn that has been one of the sharper under-the-radar barns on the NYRA circuit the past several years. |
| Picks & Plays | WPS bet and a must-use in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well. |
| Stats | Sar POD: 28-1-4-2 ($1.29/$3.81 ROI through 8/21) Sar Meet: 349-76-63-52 ($1.46/$4.71 through 8/28) |
