Nadeau: Saratoga 8.1.26 Play of the Day
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 8/1/26 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 3 |
| Race overview | An extremely strong 100k claimer for 4up at 1-mile. |
| Pace | It looks potentially hot and contested, as more than a few want to motor early, which suggests the speed could com back in the lane. |
| Trends | The main track has played fair during the meet, though check the results Friday, as it was finally fast after the all of the torrential rains earlier in the week. |
| Best Play | #6 REASONED ANALYSIS (2-1): Brown dropper was a chasing and tiring 3rd against better, in what was his first start in well over a year, so with that behind him, against easier, he should be primed. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single in the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the middle Pk5 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 150-27-22-22 ($1.44/$4.73 through 7/26)
Sar POD: 13-4-1-4 ($1.52/$4.59 ROI through 7/26)
