Nadeau: Play of the Day Saratoga Fri 7.25.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 7/25/25 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 9 |
| Race overview | A solid renewal of the G2 Amsterdam for 3yos at 6 ½ Fs on the main track. |
| Pace | No doubt #1 Macho Music (2-1) is going from the rail, which should put #3 SMOKEN WICKED (6-1) in a good pressing/chasing outside. |
| Trends | A fast main track has played towards speed, especially the sprints, though watching the weather and the races early in the week is prudent, as a forward main track isn’t out of the ordinary at all. |
| Best Play | #3 SMOKEN WICKED (6-1): Expected pace presser/chaser has run well in his last two fast track sprints, and they were at 7Fs too, so he has some foundation here, and a running style that will get him first run on the stalker/closers entered as well. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and a must-use/potential leverage single in the Plate k5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 42-11-12-8 ($1.76/$5.95 ROI through 7/13)
Sar POD: 3-0-1-0
