Nadeau: Play of the Day Saratoga Sat 7.26.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 7/26/25 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 11 |
| Race overview | A full field of NYB fo3up at 1 1/16 miles on the Mellon Turf. |
| Pace | There’s not really much on paper, so expect a tight group that will sprint off the far turn. |
| Trends | While it hasn’t been often, a firm turf course has been playing a bit on the speedy side, so, at the very least, you want a runner who has the ability to be tactical early on. |
| Best Play | #9 HELLO BEAUTY (5-2) (turf only): The best horse in the field has been running faster races against OPEN MSW foes in Kentucky, so this is a massive class drop, especially while facing what looks like a very modest field of state breds on paper. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/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
