Nadeau: Play of the Day Saratoga Sun 8.9.26
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 8/9/26 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 7 |
| Race overview | A strong 85k MCL for fm3up at 6 ½ furlongs on the main track. |
| Pace | It looks on the tepid side, with just #1 Immaculate Moon (5-2), wanting to go early, so being able to lay close is key. |
| Trends | A fast main track seemed a bit forward Wednesday and Thursday, but nothing too out of the ordinary. |
| Best Play | #5 ROSE TO RICHES (3-1): Brown filly woke up on the switch to dirt off a long layoff, drew perfectly, should be a lot closer early with the splits being softer today, and should only build off her return. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single to end the middle Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 191-37-32-28 ($1.44/$4.49 through 8/2)
Sar POD: 17-4-2-5 ($1.36/$4.34 ROI through 8/2)
