Nadeau: Play of the Day Saratoga Sat 8.2.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 8/2/25 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 11 |
| Race overview | An absolutely tremendous renewal of the G1 Whitney for 4up at 1 1/8 miles. |
| Pace | It will be honest, and possibly even on the fast side, with some speed entered, along with a confirmed rabbit (#8). |
| Trends | A fast main track has continued to play on the speedy side, which means the ability to lay close, at the very least, is key. |
| Best Play | #9 FIERCENESS (9-5): Superstar was a flat 2nd in the G1 Met Mile but now stretches back out to a distance he’s 2-for-2 at, and his speed gives him a huge edge over arch rival #5 Siera Leone (2-1). |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 142-38-31-23 ($1.62/$5.15 ROI through 7/27)
Sar POD: 12-2-1-0
