Play of the Day – August 31st, 2022
| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | August 31, 2022 |
| Track | Saratoga |
| Race | 7 |
| Overview | A solid 32k claimer going 5 ½ Fs on the turf, with several who are dropping in class, though where their form is at remains to be seen. |
| Pace | You should get some inside speed from #2 Ballydooley (6-1), who is the only one here that could potentially keep #7 NOT PHAR NOW (7-2) occupied early. |
| Trends | We’re turf sprinting here, so you want to be close, as coming from too far back is never a great recipe for success. |
| Best Bet | NOT PHAR NOW |
| Number | 7 |
| Morning Line | (7-2) |
| Best Bet Overview | #7 NOT PHAR NOW (7-2) (turf only): Speedster cuts back from a good 3rd routing last time and draws perfectly, so he’s either a Lone F, or, if #2 Ballydooley (6-1) does go early, he’ll be able to sit to his outside and get first run on the stalker/closers. |
| 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: 349-76-63-52 ($1.46/$4.71 through 8/28) |
