PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 8/16/26
Featured track Saratoga
Race number 10
 
Race overview A deep and competitive 16k claimer for 4up at 6 ½ furlongs.
 
Pace It looks honest, and potentially hot and contested, as there are more than a few with outside draws that want to motor early.
Trends All bets are off after a muddy main track Saturday, so check the charts to see how it played, and obviously the weather/track condition on race day as well.
Best Play #4 FARM TEAM (6-1): Huge class dropper goes for a Kantarmaci barn that has had a solid meet with limited starters, owns a stalking/closing style that should relish all the pace up front, and already fits snugly on paper with this group too.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and a must-use/potential leverage single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
