Nadeau: Play of the Day Saratoga Sat 8.15.26
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | ||
| Date | 8/15/26 | |
| Featured track | Saratoga | |
| Race number | 10 | |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive renewal of the 200k Galway for 3yo fillies at 5 ½ furlongs on the Mellon Turf Course. | |
| Pace | It looks potentially supersonic, as there are more than a few who want to roll early, which suggests this could fall apart in the lane. | |
| Trends | The turf has been fair throughout the meet, and has seen plenty of off-the-pace winners, though monitor the weather/course condition, after there were rains earlier in the week. | |
| Best Play | #5 CADENZA (7-2) (turf only): Stalker didn’t handle the yielding going in the G3 Coronation Cup when a distant 3rd, but has the running style to take advantage of the expected wild pace up front, and her firm turf form is impeccable, so if Mother Nature cooperates, she’s in a great spot to take advantage of the race flow. | |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. | |
