Nadeau: Saratoga 7.9.26 Play of the Day
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 7/9/26 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 4 |
| Race overview | A competitive 20k N2L for fm3up at 1-mile on the main track. |
| Pace | There’s not much here, and at this tricky trip, being forward with the quick run to the first turn, is never a bad asset. |
| Trends | The main track seemed on the fair side during the first three days of the meet, much more so than the Belmont Meet in early June. |
| Best Play | #3 AMELIA’S ECHO (7-2): Stiff dropper caught a sloppy track as well when she was facing much better, so she’ll like this group today, and that fast track 2nd two-back gives her a big chance, while noting she’s now second-off the claim for Kantarmaci as well. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
