PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 7/18/26
Featured track Saratoga
Race number 10
 
Race overview A solid OC 45k/N2X for NYBs at 1-mile on the main track.
 
Pace It looks honest enough, and potentially swift, as a trio of the first four want to be on or near the early lead.
Trends The main track was very fair last weekend, and even seemed to tilt towards those with an ability to come from off-the-pace.
Best Play #5 WHITTINGHAM PARK (3-1): Versatile sort was a stretch runner before showing a lot more speed in his last, and he’s got foundation for this off a trio of 1 1/8-mile runs, and is now off-the-claim for I. Kantarmaci, who is having a strong start to the meet
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
