Play of the Day – August 19th 2021
| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | August 19, 2021 |
| Track | Saratoga |
| Race | 4 |
| Overview | A very modest N1X going long on the main, with a strong favorite (#5) facing winners off a debut romp in the mud, and a potential sleeper who is a track and distance winner. |
| Pace | It looks there for the taking, and #1 MISTY VEIL (4-1) did just that when she wired lesser over the track/distance last time. |
| Trends | The main track has played very kindly to speed going long throughout the meet, and take note of individual days too, because it’s been an inside highway for some of them. |
| Best Bet | MISTY VEIL |
| Number | 1 |
| Morning Line | (4-1) |
| Best Bet Overview | #1 MISTY VEIL (4-1): Expected Lone F wired lesser last time and while she steps up here, the 5 will be way overbet facing winners while stretching out, and possibly running on dry land for the first time too, so there’s plenty of reason to like the 1. |
| Picks & Plays | Aggressive WP bet, strong EX over #5 with a smaller backup underneath, and a potential single/must-use in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Stats | 217-46-31-29 ($1.69/$5.01 ROI overall through 8/8) Sar Meet: 194-48-34-24 ($1.66/$4.73 ROI through 8/8) |
