Nadeau: Play of the Day Saratoga Sat 9.5.26
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 9/5/26 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 8 |
| A seemingly modest (on paper) MSW for 2yos at 1 1/16 miles on the inner turf course. |
| It’s a full field with several firsters, as well as a stretchout dirt sprinter on the rail, so things should be honest early. |
| The turf has played fair all meet, with winners coming from all over, though sprints are typically going to be won by forward runners. |
| #5 RELATED PARTY (5-2) (turf only): Brown runner was a useful 3rd in his debut at an iffy 6-1, while closing nicely late, all which gives the indication he needed one, so against this non-descript field, he looks primed. |
| Aggressive WP, and single in all the horizontal exotics, including to kick off the late Pk5. |
| Sar Meet: 394-78-66-58 ($1.52/$4.69 through 8/23)
Sar POD: 37-10-5-7 ($1.50/$4.45 through 8/23)
