PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 8/6/26
Featured track Saratoga
Race number 4
 
Race overview An extremely strong 12.5k claimer for fm4up at 6 furlongs.
 
Pace It looks hot and contested, as more than a few want to roll early, which suggests this could fall apart in the lane.
Trends Inconsistent weather has made the main track tough to get a gauge on, though it has played fair and consistent when it’s been fast.
Best Play #8 JACKSON’S DIXIE (7-2): Stretch runner drops after facing better in three starts off the Dutrow claim, so while her form doesn’t look great of late, this group—and race flow—should wake her up.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single in the early Pk5/Pk4, and in the middle Pk5/Pk4 as well.
