Nadeau: Play of the Day Saratoga Sun 8.17.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 8/17/25 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 7 |
| Race overview | An extremely watered down 12.5k starter-allowance for fm3up at 7fs on the main track. |
| Pace | It looks honest, though not overlay fast, as there are more stalker/closers than speed types. |
| Trends | A fast main track Friday was all speed, so monitor Saturday, as things are likely turning back to the norm. |
| Best Play | #6 SPIRITUAL LADY (2-1): Class dropper just won a 20k starter, meets easier here, drew perfectly, and has a pressing style to get first run on all the stalker/closers entered. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive win bet and single in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 244-70-50-36 ($2.06/$5.70 ROI through 8/3)
Sar POD: 21-3-4-1
